Donald Trump’s arraignment in Georgia for the phony charges of trying to overturn the 2020 election has now been scheduled for next week.
He will be arraigned first and then the other 18 charged will follow suit.
Here’s more from the New York Post:
Former President Donald Trump will be formally arraigned next week on charges that he unlawfully tried to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
Trump, 77, will appear before Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 6, and be followed by his 18 co-defendants, who were indicted by District Attorney Fani Willis on a total of 41 counts Aug. 14.
Former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani is scheduled to be arraigned at 9:45 a.m., followed by fellow Trump attorneys John Eastman at 10:00 a.m. and Sidney Powell at 10:15 a.m., with former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows due at 10:30 a.m.
Former Coffee County GOP chair Cathy Latham is scheduled for arraignment at 10:45 a.m., Republican poll watcher Scott Hall at 11:00 a.m.; ex-Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro at 11:15 a.m.; publicist Trevian Kutti at 11:30 a.m.; and former Black Voices for Trump director Harrison Floyd at 11:45 a.m.
In the afternoon, former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark is slated to appear at 1:00 p.m.; Illinois pastor Stephen Lee at 1:15 p.m.; ex-Trump attorney Jenna Ellis at 1:30 p.m.; Georgia state Sen. Shawn Still at 1:45 p.m.; local lawyer Ray Smith at 2:00 p.m.; Georgia GOP chairman David Shafer at 2:15 p.m.; Trump 2020 campaign Election Day director of operations Michael Roman at 2:30 p.m.; local lawyer Robert Cheeley at 2:45 p.m.; and ex-Coffee County official Misty Hampton at 3:00 p.m.
McAfee ruled last week that cameras and recording devices from local TV affiliates would be allowed in the courtroom for the proceedings.
Willis charged all 19 defendants under the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, as well as with conspiracy, false statements and asking a public official to violate their oath of office.
The Post reports that only former Black Voices for Trump director Harrison Floyd couldn’t post bail and was kept in jail. Hopefully he’ll be released at the arraignment. We’ll be covering all of this for you when it happens.
