Trump arraignment in Georgia election case set for Sep 6
FORMER President Donald Trump’s arraignment in Atlanta on state charges that he tried to steal the 2020 election in Georgia has been set for Sep 6 at 9.30 am.
Long-time Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows, two of the former president’s alleged co-conspirators, also will be arraigned that morning, court records show.
The plea hearing will take place before Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAffee, who is overseeing the state case against Trump and 18 alleged co-defendants.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who brought the indictment on Aug 14 after investigating the alleged conspiracy for a two-and-a-half years, previously said all the defendants would be arraigned starting Sep 5.
The former president, who surrendered for booking last week after agreeing to a US$200,000 bond, has denied wrongdoing and claims the case is part of a political “witch hunt” to undermine his campaign to return to the White House in the 2024 election.
Trump’s lawyer, Steve Sadow, did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
The case is The State of Georgia v Trump, 2023SC188947, Superior Court of Fulton County, State of Georgia. BLOOMBERG
