Fani Willis proposes October 2023 trial date for Trump, co-defendants
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Thursday called for an earlier start date for the election interference trial of former President Trump and his 18 co-defendants.
Why it matters: Willis previously proposed March 4, 2024, as a start date, but after co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro demanded a speedy earlier this week, she called his bluff and requested that the trial begin on Oct. 23, 2023.
