Trump’s Georgia arraignment and federal trial date set

Listen to this article

Former President Donald Trump will be arraigned on September 6, 2023 in Georgia along with 18 other co-defendents.

At the hearing, counsel for Trump is expected to learn about formal charges and enter a plea.

A trial date has been set for March 4, 2023 for the federal case in Washington charging Trump with trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Meanwhile, the Georgia arraignment is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. EDT with other arraignments to follow in 15-minute increments.

As previously reported by the Wisconsin Law Journal, two Wisconsinites including Brian Schimming, chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, have been called out for their alleged role in organizing fraudulent electors in Wisconsin during the 2020 Presidential Election.

As Wisconsin has once again been thrust into the national spotlight, Wisconsin-native and one of Trump’s attorney, Kenneth Chesebro, was one of five Trump lawyers and aides who received a criminal referral last December, following its 18-month investigation, and was also named in the recent Georgia case.

The latest grand jury indictment out of Fulton County, Georgia, obtained by the Wisconsin Law Journal says Trump was one of 19 others who participated in a “criminal enterprise.” The 19 individuals are now formally accused of unlawfully changing the outcome of the 2020 election.

One of the charges the former president is facing reads right out of a movie script for the “Dixie Mafia”.

Trump faces one count of violating the Georgia RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act and two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery.

Several of these charges are directly related to the alleged fake elector scheme carried out by the Trump campaign, where alternate electors in Georgia casted electoral votes for Trump instead of Joe Biden.

The indictment accuses the former president and others of influencing witnesses, conspiracy to commit election fraud, false statements and writings, imprisoning a public officer, solicitation of violation of oath by public officer, and several other offenses.
