Pro-Trump Lawyers Fight to Dismiss Charges as Georgia Election Case Heads to Trial

Trump-aligned lawyers Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro have pleaded not guilty to racketeering and other charges related to alleged election interference in Georgia.
Defendants have filed several motions to dismiss the case, including claims of prosecutorial misconduct and constitutional violations, but judges have consistently rejected them.
Powell and Chesebro face the first trial, set to begin jury selection October 20, after requesting speedy proceedings.
Prosecutors plan to call key Trump campaign figures like Boris Epshteyn and Lin Wood to testify against Powell and Chesebro.
The sprawling case also includes former President Trump and 16 other defendants accused of conspiring to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
