The trial of former Trump campaign attorney Kenneth Chesebro will be the first legal test of the sweeping Fulton County criminal racketeering case.
ATLANTA — Donald Trump has yet to step foot inside the Fulton County Courthouse in downtown Atlanta, where a grand jury two months agothe former president and 18 allies on charges that they illegally conspired to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 victory in Georgia.
McAfee has estimated the trial could take at least five months and has said he plans to move quickly through the jury selection process in hopes of seating 12 people and at least two alternates by Nov. 3 to meet the requirements of the speedy trial statute.
Another proposed defense question asked potential jurors to agree or disagree with the statement: “I think MAGA Republicans are mostly made up of radicals and White supremacists.” The defense also wanted to ask potential jurors if they believe those who spread “political misinformation about elections” are protected by the First Amendment.
But McAfee again appeared skeptical of the defense’s approach. He described the proposed questions about certain witnesses as something akin to a “Gallup poll” that did not seem relevant “to the ultimate question of the impartiality of the juror” — though he conceded that attorneys could bring up those inquiries during individual questioning of potential jurors, which is scheduled to begin Monday.
Grubman, Chesebro’s attorney, has repeatedly protested McAfee’s plan to expedite jury selection, telling the judge that it feels as though his client is being “punished” for invoking his right to a speedy trial. He has argued that going through jury selection too quickly could violate Chesebro’s due process rights.
