Judge Sets October Trial for 2 Trump Co-Defendants in Georgia Election Interference Case
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A judge in Georgia has ruled that two of Donald Trump's co-defendants in
the state's election subversion case will be tried together beginning on
October 23. Fulton County Judge Scott Mc Afee on Wednesday granted a
request by Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro for a speedy trial in the
case, though he denied their request to be tried separately.

In Colorado, a new lawsuit seeks to bar Donald Trump from the 2024
presidential ballot. Six Colorado voters argue Trump's actions before,
during and after the January 6, 2021, insurrection disqualify him from
running, citing the 14th Amendment.
