Today on Lawfare No Bull: On Sept. 14, in a hearing in Fulton County, Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee granted an expedited trial schedule for former Trump lawyers Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell, separate from their 17 other co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case. The hearing also covered the defendants’ motion to unseal transcripts of witness testimony before the special purpose grand jury. During the hearing, the prosecution handed over a list of names of the 30 unindicted co-conspirators to the defendants’ lawyers.
