More Trump Co-Defendants in Georgia Election Case Could Take Plea Deals, Says DA Willis

Willis is seeking an August trial date, potentially putting Trump in court during the lead-up to the November general election.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is prosecuting Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants over efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.
Willis is seeking an August trial date for Trump and his co-defendants, a time frame that would put Trump in court defending himself in the lead-up to the November general election.
Willis has suggested that more of Trump’s co-defendants in the Georgia case could take plea deals, reducing the number who could go on trial with him.
Four of the 19 people charged have already pleaded guilty after reaching deals with prosecutors.
The indictment includes serious charges, including alleged violations of the state’s anti-racketeering law, that carry significant prison time.
