"I am giving the defendants the opportunity to voluntarily surrender no later than noon on Friday, the 25th day of August, 2023," Willis said in a news conference shortly before midnight Monday.

Willis said she plans to try all 19 defendants together. She said she will ask for a trial to start within six months but added that scheduling decisions will be made by a judge.
She said the defendants are charged with conspiring to allow Trump "to seize the presidential term of office beginning on Jan. 20, 2021."
