Officials with the Fulton county court handed the indictment to judge Robert McBurney.
Proposed trial date on 3/4/24. Judge Scott McAfee presiding. Though McAfee was assigned the case soon after the indictment was handed up on Monday evening, it could be transferred to a different judge later in the process.
8/17/23 Update from CNN: Fulton County’s sweeping indictment against Trump & 18 additional co-defendants also includes details involving 30 “unindicted co-conspirators” – people who Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis alleges took part in the criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election. Some of the co-conspirators are key Trump advisers, like Boris Epshteyn, while several others are likely Georgia officials who were the state’s fake electors for Trump. One of the unindicted co-conspirators who appears multiple times in the indictment is Georgia’s Republican Lt. Gov. Burt Jones. Willis was barred by a state judge from investigating Jones after she hosted a fundraiser last year for Jones’ Democratic opponent when he was a state senator running for lieutenant governor. The 98-page document alleges the 30 unindicted co-conspirators, who are not named, “constituted a criminal organization whose members & associates engaged in various related criminal activities” across the 41 charges laid out in the indictment. Unindicted co-conspirators per CNN: Co-conspirator 1 is Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch, Co-conspirator 3 is Boris Epshteyn, Trump political adviser, Co-conspirator 4 is Robert Sinners, Trump’s Georgia election day operations lead, Co-conspirator 5 is Bernie Kerik, former NYPD Commissioner, Co-conspirator 6 is GOP operative Phil Waldron, Co-conspirator 8 is Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, Co-conspirators 9 is former Georgia Republican Party Treasurer Joseph Brannan, Co-conspirators 10 & 11 are Georgia GOP officials Carolyn Fisher & Vikki Consiglio, Co-conspirators 2 & 8-19 are the fake electors, Co-conspirator 20 is unclear-The indictment says Individual 20 was part of a meeting at the White House on December 18, 2020, with Trump, Giuliani & Powell, known to have discussed the possibility of seizing voting machines. Co-conspirators 21 & 22 are Conan Hayes & Todd Sanders, Co-conspirators 23-30 are related to Coffee County voting machines, Co-conspirator 25 & 29 are a Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan & analyst Jeffrey Lenberg, Co-conspirator 28 is Jim Penrose.

{URL unfurl=false"]GA - Former President Donald Trump indicted, 10 counts in 2020 election interference, violation of RICO Act, 14 Aug 2023[/URL]
8/14/23: Page 15 of GA indictment says there are 30 un-indicted co-conspirators. “I am giving the defendants the opportunity to voluntarily surrender no later than Friday 8/25/23 at noon” says Fulton County DA Fani Willis. She will be proposing a trial date within the next six months. Link to indictment: https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23909543/23sc188947-criminal-indictment.pdf
8/15/23 Update: Mark Meadows officially filed to move the election interference case from Fulton County to Federal court. The motion, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, argues that the charges filed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis (D) covers Meadows’s conduct while he was a federal official working as the top aide to then-President Trump. In the motion, Meadows’s attorneys cite a federal law known as the “removal statute,” which generally allows “any officer … of the United States” who is facing criminal prosecution in state court to move those proceedings to federal court if the case relates to actions that were part of the individual’s duties as a federal official. 8/21/23 Update: Two co-defendants in the Georgia election case have joined Meadows, the former Trump White House chief of staff, in attempting to move their charges to federal court. Jeffrey Clark, a former Justice Dept. official & David Shafer, one of the state’s fake electors, both filed notices of removal Monday. Clark is also attempting to block Fulton County from arresting him by urging an immediate pause of the state proceedings.
8/16/23: A state agency is moving ahead with plans that will determine whether Lt. Gov. Burt Jones faces criminal charges as part of a scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. Pete Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys Council of Georgia, said he has reviewed the Fulton County indictment & hopes to appoint a special prosecutor to consider Jones’ actions soon. Jones is one of 30 people who prosecutors said participated in a conspiracy to overturn the election but were not charged in a Fulton County indictment released late Monday. But Jones may yet face charges & his fate will rest with a special prosecutor who will determine whether further investigation is needed.
8/16/23 Update: Per DA's office & presiding Judge - It is expected that all 19 defendants named in the indictment will be booked at the Rice Street Jail. 8/16/23 Update: Former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows is seeking to move the Fulton County, Georgia, prosecution against him to federal court so that he can try to get the case dismissed under federal law. On Wednesday, a federal judge scheduled an 8/28/23 hearing for Meadows & others to present evidence about whether to move the case. The judge noted the state court case can proceed at this time. In the filing, Judge Jones said the notice of removal & the attached indictment “do not clearly indicate that summary remand of this matter is required,” meaning there is no need for a higher court to send the case back to a lower court for further action. Judge Jones also ordered Meadows to give Fulton County DA Fani Willis a copy of the notice of removal & the order for the hearing. Once Willis receives the documents, she is allowed to submit a written response by Aug. 23.
8/16/23 Update: [Proposed] Pretrial Scheduling Order. Arraignment for various defendants shall take place the week of 9/5/23. Discovery: Defendant has until 10 days after arraignment to opt into reciprocal discovery. If defendant elects to participate in reciprocal discovery all parties shall serve discovery materials then in its possession to opposing counsel no later than 9/29/23. Motions hearings: All demurrers & claims of immunity are to be filed within 10 days of arraignment. All particularized motions & notices shall be filed on or before 10/31/23. on motions filed by 10/31/23 shall commence on 12/11/23 & continue until completion. Generalized & omnibus motions will not be considered by the Court. All motions in limine shall be filed at least 5 days prior to the call of trial. Final pretrial conference held on 2/20/24 & trial shall commence on 3/4/24.
8/17/23 Update: Fulton County DA Fani Willis has asked a judge to set a trial date of 3/4/24 for Trump & his 18 co-defendants. Willis’ proposed schedule also requests arraignments for Trump & his allies the week of 9/5/23. She hasn’t changed her Aug. 25 deadline for them to surrender at the Fulton County Jail.
8/17/23 Update: A former Justice Dept. official who served in the Trump administration & is one of 19 defendants in the Georgia 2020 election probe is seeking to pause an ethics case against him, citing the charges he's now facing in the Fulton County indictment. In a 13-page filing in D.C. federal court, lawyers for Jeffrey Clark on Thursday argued that an ethics violation case brought by a licensing authority for attorneys in the nation's capital should be put on hold until the resolution of the Georgia charges because "they involve substantially the same allegations." The D.C. Bar’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel, which regulates the conduct of attorneys admitted to the Bar in Washington, began a disciplinary proceeding against Clark in July 2022.
8/18/23 Update: Attorneys for Trump are expected to meet early next week with the Fulton County DA's office in order to negotiate terms of the bond package for Trump following this indictment last Monday. The meeting between Willis & Trump's attorneys is expected to occur prior to any surrender by Trump at the Fulton County Jail.
8/20/23 Update: The political team had pushed for Trump to be booked at the Fulton county jail on Wednesday, his legal team has been opposed. Trump’s lawyers thought Thursday was a more realistic option & intend to finalize logistics with the district attorney’s office on Monday, the people said. At the meeting with the Fulton county district attorney, Fani Willis, Trump’s lawyers are expected to negotiate the scope of his surrender, including whether the former president will have his mugshot and weight released.
8/21/23 Update: Consent Bond Order for Donald John Trump. Bond $200K. The order was signed off on by Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee. The order, which was signed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis & Trump's attorneys, says that Trump "shall perform no act to intimidate any person known to him or her to be a codefendant or witness in this case or to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice." Also the "Defendant shall make no direct or indirect threat of any nature against the community or to any property in the community; The above shall include, but are not limited to, posts on social media or reposts of posts made by another individual on social media."
