An Atlanta prosecutor on Thursday asked a judge to begin the Georgia election interference trial for Donald Trump and 18 other defendants on Oct. 23.

The scheduling request by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis came a day after one of Trump’s co-defendants, attorney Kenneth Chesebro, filed a demand for a speedy trial in the county Superior Court.

Willis directly cited Chesebro’s demand in her filing Thursday.

    Exactly. Defendants have the right to a speedy trial, not a long one. There is no legitimate reason to delay it.
