Donald Trump indictment: Fulton County prosecutors signal potential plea deals

Special prosecutor Nathan Wade made the suggestion during a procedural hearing Friday for former Trump campaign lawyers Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, the alleged brainchild of the fake elector scheme. The pair of defendants will head to trial on Oct. 23 on charges related to alleged attempts to subvert the 2020 general election results in the Peach State.“We have not, at this point, made an offer,” Wade said during the hearing.

Defense attorneys during the remote Zoom hearing did not address the potential for a plea deal and have indicated they are expecting to head to trial. Also, on Friday, McAfee denied two motions for Chesebro that sought to invoke immunity from prosecution and block emails that prosecutors obtained via a search warrant.

The judge expects the trial to last three to five months, with breaks around the holidays and on Friday.
