Summary
It's been an eventful few days in Fulton County with a flurry of orders, a flurry of briefings, the former president deciding he wasn't going to seek removal to federal court, waiting for the 11th Circuit to rule on other people's removals, and other removals being denied—there’s just been a lot going on. To catch up, Lawfare Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Wittes sat down with Lawfare Legal Fellow Anna Bower. They talked about whether we’ll really see this case going to trial on October 23, about bail bondsman Scott Hall’s plea agreement, about whether other people will take the plea, about why Donald Trump is not seeking removal, and about all the people who want removal who just can't seem to get it.

| 0:37.2 | now that they've been severed, you know, that's not at, you know, at risk either. So I think |
| 0:43.1 | that it's going to be interesting to me to see how quickly this framework gets around to |
| 0:48.8 | this. They've acted quickly in the past with things like the Lindsey Graham subpoena challenge |
| 0:54.5 | and that kind of thing. So potentially that could happen again here, but the power is very much in |
| 1:00.7 | these appellate court's hands in terms of how much this trial could be delayed and whether it |
| 1:06.7 | happens before the election. I'm Benjamin Whitteson. This is the LawFair podcast October 4, 2023. |

| 1:50.8 | We talked about whether this case is really going to trial on October 23. We talked about the plea. |
| 1:58.7 | There was a plea in this case, a bail bondsman named Scott Hall pleaded out. He got a good deal. |
| 2:05.8 | Our other people are going to take it. We talked about why Donald Trump is not seeking removal |
