Bad news for Sidney Powell and Ken Chesebro as judge rejects RICO challenges Trump adopted

Attorneys Sidney Powell and Ken Chesebro are heading towards jury selection in the Fulton County DA’s racketeering (RICO) prosecution after the presiding judge on Tuesday rejected their attempts to toss out their indictments.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, in an 18-page order, ruled that Powell and Chesebro’s RICO trial for their alleged roles in trying to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia, will move forward, as their assertions that “every count with which they are charged is fatally defective” were ultimately unpersuasive.

“After reviewing the law, record, and parties’ arguments, and finding that each challenged count is facially sound as alleged, the motions are DENIED,” McAfee began.
