surrendered, and they scheduled the first hearing before the judge. the district attorney fani willis says she would like to do the arraignment the week of september 5th. the former president at his 18th codefendant will have to come back to fulton county for the arraignment. we could also expect pretty much some ultimately to continue to see legal challenges. we know mark meadows and jeffrey clark have filed challenges trying to move their cases to federal court, we expect the former president will likely tried the same. rudy giuliani has suggested on one of his podcast that he intends to do that. jake, we have to see the legal team solidify, this may be wide to four presidents secured his new attorney because they only have a finite amount of time after the arraignment to file certain challenges to the indictment. someone please ample rudy giuliani, to figure out who is going to represent him throughout the trial, because of course the lawyer who helped with this body has been
right? only in extreme circumstances. but i have never seen. president of the united states? [laughter] [inaudible] i will say though, if i was his lawyer. i would beg him not to do that. because you have a jury who is deciding your liberty. and they do not take it as a sign of respect if you do not feel the obligation to at least show up. the other thing is, preparing for a criminal trial? as a defendant? ordinarily is a full-time job. you are working along the clock with your lawyer. to have a constitutional right to assist in your own defense. you are helping your lawyers assist in documents, identify witnesses, it s up to donald trump what they want to do, and how they want to split that up. usually this is all consuming for one case. never mind for. i just want to point out again, for people, for the equal justice point. regular people lives are destroyed just by the charge. just by the charge. just the mere fact. oh here we go.
trained if a judge said when we want to go to trial, i would say tomorrow on all of them and that s what she has said. she took a long time. one of the criticisms, i think valid criticisms, is that this took two and a half years for fani willis. to investigate. and to bring the charge. and i have to presume if she is competent, and all indications are that she is competent, that she is ready to go. because of just the scenario. one thing i learn from your comments a second ago, is how much time. i didn t realize that he had to be in the courts for all these different hearings. so, hanging out with all these lawyers. i learned so much more. including then, i found out you are a lawyer. but how do you campaign? in your best estimate, do you have 30 extra minutes a day? to be cleric, you have to be there for your trial. some of the hearings. your arraignment, you have to be there. but some of the intermarrying hearings about the evidence, in the motions? that the defendants can wave.
secret service agents, advance teams, potentially press, his doctors. but he saw it as an opportunity. he knew the media was focused on him. if he was bleeding the news to him, that was a win. even if it was for bad reasons. again, he chose 7:30, he told prime time to turn himself in. because the spectacle of all he sees as a when. even if it is for something horrible like committing crimes. and by the way, he commented on the tarmac, he continued to make dishonest claims about the election. we are not going to play it. it s not worth hearing for them all, before many of the claims are just not true. he is now back on the plane. ready to take off. on this case in particular, if they have to go, they will be going to trial in october apparently at least with cheeseborough. does, do you believe that fani willis is ready, i mean is the prosecutor ready for that? you are supposed to always be ready as a prosecutor, i was
that there are lines that should not be crossed. so there is some vindication here if. we should not get used to it. it s a stable system working and i am proud of it. i think it s well said, the only word of caution i think is for many people going away for years for the sense of justice in this process. this may not play out before the election. the variety of different cases. and nobody can take to the bank that we may know whether the former president, gop front runner, is in fact a convicted felon when they have to cast their votes in their election. although if there is a speedy trial for kenneth chesebro, it is going to be interesting to see this. i don t know, would cameras be in the courtroom? yes, and that s important. because you can actually hear what the states cases against essentially, cheeseborough, but against the former president. exactly, all of this evidence will come out. it will be public. we will be able to see it. and by the way. by the way this is the
