A judge in Georgia on Wednesday denied motions from two co-defendants to sever their cases from one another in the sprawling racketeering prosecution against Donald Trump.

Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee handed down the decision after more than 90 minutes of arguments from prosecutors and defense counsel. The ruling is a win for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, and means Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell will be tried together, beginning Oct. 23.

The pair are now “hurtling forward” toward trial, McAfee said as he set new deadlines and scheduling orders.

    Who would have thought that a McAfee might one day actually detect malicious agents in a system?

      Unfortunately McAfee only works on a trial basis, so get ready to pay up.

      If only John was still around! He’d make sure Trump would get found not guilty through sheer animal magnetism!
