Fulton County judge rules DA can't try all 19 defendants together in Trump RICO case

Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee ruled Thursday in favor of severing the trials for 17 of the defendants, including former President Donald Trump, from that of two of the defendants in the election interference case. 

The trial for the two defendants, Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell, is scheduled to begin Oct. 23.  McAfee denied their request to have trials separate from each other. 

The other 17 defendants have not invoked their right to a speedy trial.
