"Mark Meadows and All Defendants Plead Not Guilty in Georgia Election Interference Case"

All 19 defendants, including former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, have pleaded not guilty to charges in the Georgia election interference case and waived their in-person arraignment. A hearing has been scheduled to consider severing some defendants from the main case. Two defendants have filed motions seeking to sever their cases, while another defendant seeks to dismiss the charges against him, arguing that the state prosecutors lack the authority to charge him with alleged violations of federal law. Former President Donald Trump and the other defendants were charged last month in a racketeering indictment for alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.

The Uncertain Trial Dates and Mounting Legal Bills for Trump's Georgia Case

Former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case are already at odds over when and where their trial will take place. Five defendants have sought to move the state case to federal court, which could result in the case splitting into smaller cases overseen by different judges on different timelines. The question of venue matters because it would affect the composition of the jury. Some defendants are seeking speedy trials, while Trump has indicated his intention to sever his case from the rest of the defendants. The legal maneuvering reflects the unique nature of the case, which involves a former president, Georgia Republican activists, and varying agendas among the defendants.

Former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis has had her bail set at $100,000 in the election interference case brought by District Attorney Fani Willis, following former President Donald Trump's bond being set at $200,000. Ellis, Trump, and 17 others were charged with racketeering for their alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. Ellis is accused of making false statements and soliciting public officials to unlawfully appoint electors. Several other defendants, including former GOP chair Cathy Latham and former Trump campaign official Michael Roman, have also had their bail set. All defendants have until Friday to surrender.

"Eastman's $100K Bond Set in Georgia Election Case"

John Eastman, a Trump-allied lawyer involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, has reached a bond agreement in the Georgia election case, becoming the first of former President Trump's 18 co-defendants to do so. Eastman agreed to a $100,000 bond, while other defendants agreed to bonds ranging from $10,000 to $100,000. The agreements include restrictions on communication with co-defendants and witnesses. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis charged Trump and 18 others in a 41-count racketeering indictment related to alleged election overturn efforts. Eastman's attorney called the indictment unconstitutional.
