The former Trump campaign attorney is scheduled to go on trial Oct. 23.

A judge on Thursday denied a request from former Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell to have the Georgia election interference case against her dismissed over allegations of prosecutorial misconduct.

The ruling, following a hearing in Fulton County, comes just weeks before Powell is scheduled to go to trial alongside Kenneth Chesebro, after the pair both requested speedy trials in the case.

    You’re not wrong that motions to dismiss are common and routine, but this is a little different.

    “Purely on procedural grounds, I don’t believe that this motion to dismiss for misconduct … has cleared the procedural bar as being under the court’s authority,” Judge Scott McAfee said.

    That’s legalese for “What the fuck did you just ask me?”
