Former President Trump and the 18 other defendants involved in the case are employing early defense strategies, creating challenges for the prosecution's plan to hold a trial in the following month.

District Attorney Fani Willis aims to keep all co-defendants together for a trial starting on October 23, but various legal maneuvers are presenting significant obstacles. Legal experts have described Willis's goal as extraordinarily ambitious.

Five defendants have already sought to have their cases transferred to federal court, while two have requested a speedy trial. Additionally, the majority of defendants are seeking to have their cases separated from the co-defendants, adding complexity to the proceedings.

Judge Scott McAfee of Fulton County Superior Court acknowledged the difficulties of trying such a large number of people simultaneously. The Washington Post reported his statement, noting that handling all 19 defendants within 40-something days appears unrealistic. Trump has attempted to postpone trial dates in all four of his criminal cases.

With the recent maneuvering, it is now possible that the trial may not take place until after the November 2024 election, despite the Georgia charges being ineligible for a presidential pardon. McAfee is expected to announce a trial date for Trump in Georgia soon, but the defense tactics are influencing the timetable.
