The former Trump campaign attorney is scheduled to go on trial Oct. 23.

A judge on Thursday denied a request from former Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell to have the Georgia election interference case against her dismissed over allegations of prosecutorial misconduct.

The ruling, following a hearing in Fulton County, comes just weeks before Powell is scheduled to go to trial alongside Kenneth Chesebro, after the pair both requested speedy trials in the case.

    Just because I know how much the media loves to hype up these motions: motion for dismissal is super common and is done in every other case.

    Don’t make this out as “she is out of line, how could you even ask that”. It’s procedural, and it’s nothing special at all.

      Same with everyone pleading “Not Guilty” at the start of everything. That’s just part of the song and dance.
