moves in their best interest and not necessarily together. today, we also saw sidney powell, one of those attorneys working with donald trump in the aftermath of the 2020 election say that she wants a speedy trial in the fulton county superior court. another one of these defendants, ken chaz roe, previously told the judge that. he had his court date set for october of 2023. the judge, though, made clear he was setting that for chaz roe, not everyone.we will see what he does for this. >> sara, i mentioned the next major hearing in this case monday. tell us what we expect to see them. >> reporter: this is going to be interesting, because it's an evidentiary hearing for mike meadows to try to move his case to federal court he's also asked the federal court to just dismiss all the charges against him. so, we've seen people work flying ahead of this area, and we've seen the district attorney's office lining up potential witnesses that they could call as part of the case that they want to make. among them is brad
raffensperger, the georgia secretary of state, the person trump pressured to find the votes needed for him to win the state of georgia. there's another secretary of state official on there that got calls from donald trump, as well as medications with meadows. and two attorneys who were also on the call, working on behalf of the trump campaign on the call between trump and raffensperger. again, the da's team is going to make the argument that meadows was not working in his official capacity as a federal officer when he was meddling in the election in georgia, and that he should not move it to federal court. we'll wait to see how meadows makes his case, but you can bet, rihanna, even though this is a hearing that is focused on the fate of mike meadows in all of this, there are going to be a lot of defendants who are watching to see how this plays out, including the former president too. >> they surely will be. sara murray, thank you so much for that. "outfront" now, former trump white house attorney, ty cobb. i want to thank you for being with us and get your reaction to this new filing from sidney powell asking for a speedy
trial for this, of course, comes after another codefendant, kenneth chaz roe, made the same request where do you see this going? >> thank you for having me, briana. nice to be on with you. i think this is a problem for chaz roe. he had made a creative, gutsy move, where his lawyer, who, by the way, is quite a talented lawyer, you know, seemed to believe -- and i think gets paired off by himself -- you know, he might have a shot by himself. i'm not sure i agree with that, but it is a strategic move, and i admire those. but now, he is in a situation where he may have to go to trial with sidney powell, which i have to say, of all defendants in this entire case, the last person i would want to be alone in a courtroom with if i was another defendant. >> and why is that? >> well, you know, because everything -- the problem she has is everything that she did was a lie. the evidence of it,
this in georgia, he wanted a speedy trial and the judge said okay, we could get the ball rolling. we could move ahead in october 2023. one of the things that the judge said in this order, though, is at this time, these deadlines do not apply to any co-defendant. making clear that he's going to set this trial date, but for ken cheesebro only. now within the last hour or two, we also saw sidney powell, another one of the attorneys who was working with donald trump in the aftermath of the election, again, going to court and say she also would like a speedy trial. so we're waiting for the judge to weigh in on that the timeline for her. this calls into question what the timeline is going to be for all of the rest of the defendants in this case. the d.a. said we're ready to go. we could bring everyone to trial in october of 2023. a time line other attorneys have thought was unrealistic and we've seen trump's team say they don't think that is realistic and they don't want to go with that date, wolf. >> as you know, another one of trump's co-defendants just have a bail hearing.
