A judge in the US state of Georgia has ruled that former President Donald Trump and 16 others will be tried separately from two co-defendants who are set to go to trial next month to face accusations they participated in a scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Lawyers Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro had asked for a speedy trial and Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee set their trial start date for October 23.
