Former President Donald Trump will not head to trial next month alongside two of his co-defendants whose cases in the sweeping Georgia election interference case were severed by a judge Thursday.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee granted motions from Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell to sever their criminal cases from the 17 other co-defendants who have been indicted in Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis’ probe.

Georgia prosecutors wanted to keep all 19 co-defendants together in the case. But McAfee wrote in his order that severing Chesebro and Powell was “simply a procedural and logistical inevitability.”
