Politically Georgia

LISTEN: The first Georgia election interference trial is about to begin

Oct 17, 2023

The first round of potential jurors is set to report at the Fulton County Courthouse on Friday to begin jury selection for the nationally watched trial of two of former President Donald Trump’s codefendants.

In this edition of the Politically Georgia podcast, AJC reporter Tamar Hallerman sets the stage for the Oct. 23 trial of Kenneth Cheseboro and Sidney Powell, who have pleaded not guilty to charges they helped orchestrate a “criminal enterprise” to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election.

Plus, Georgia Republicans are rallying around U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan’s bid to be the next House speaker.

And Herschel Walker still has $4.5 million in his campaign account nearly a year after his failed run for the U.S. Senate -- almost as much as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis reported for his presidential bid.
