Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp says he does not think the trial to prosecute former President Donald Trump by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will happen before the presidential election of Nov. 5, 2024.
Ms. Willis said in a proposed scheduling order filed with the court Wednesday that she wants the trial to start March 4, but Mr. Kemp disputed this during an interview with radio host Erick Erickson Friday morning at a conservative conference in Atlanta.
Ms. Willis secured a sweeping indictment that accuses Mr. Trump and 18 co-defendants of conspiring to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. “It should be such an easy path for us to win the White House back, but if we are looking in the rearview mirror, and this is what my message has been to every candidate in the race, including former President Trump, we don’t need to be focusing on stupid things that aren’t going to happen before this election. We can deal with that later after we win.”
