Former President Trump's attorney has filed a motion opposing the Fulton County DA's request to try all 19 defendants in her Georgia election case together in October. Former President Donald Trump's attorney filed a motion Wednesday opposing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' new request to try all 19 defendants in her Georgia election interference case together. The Trump filing urged the judge to stick with his earlier ruling that only Kenneth Chesebro -- who filed a speedy trial motion asking for an expediated trial -- stand trial on Oct. 23.

Ex-Trump adviser Steve Bannon asked a judge to let him change lawyers as he defends himself against charges that he defrauded donors to the "We Build the Wall" campaign. Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon has asked a judge to let him change lawyers as he defends himself against charges that he defrauded donors to the "We Build the Wall" campaign that was supposed to raise money for former President Donald Trump's signature domestic project. Echoing his support of the pro-Trump crowd that attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Bannon told reporters as he entered the courtroom Thursday that the recent election in Brazil was "stolen" from far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro and that protesters who stormed three government buildings in Brazil's capital on Sunday were "freedom fighters." Bannon ignored questions from reporters asking if he was advising anyone in Brazil's protest movement. MORE: Trump adviser Steve Bannon'...
