A prosecutor in Georgia is seeking an August trial date for former President Trump and others accused of trying to overturn the state’s 2020 election.

Fulton County Dist. Atty. Fani Willis filed a motion on Friday to schedule the start of the trial on August 5. Willis wrote that the proposed trial date strikes a balance between potential delays due to Trump’s other criminal trials and the speedy trial rights of the other defendants.

A grand jury in Fulton County indicted Trump and 18 others in August, accusing them of participating in a vast scheme to illegally try to keep the Republican in power after he lost the presidential election to Democrat Joe Biden.
