Thursday’s order is a victory for Trump and his fellow co-defendants who did not want to go to trial this October. Smith took more streamlined approach than Willis against Trump, and charged him by himself, without any co-defendants.

If any of those requests are successful, it is still unclear what that would mean for the rest of Willis’ case. Meadows will continue to fight in federal court to move the proceedings out of state court.
