Appearing on CNN, John Eastman's attorney Harvey Silverglate said his client intends to sever his case from his co-defendants and pursue a speedy trial.

"We are going to move to sever his case from the others and move for a severed trial which means we want to be tried alone," Silverglate said. "We'd like to have a speedy trial -- that is, we would like to be tried right away. It'll take three weeks and the whole nightmare will be over for him."

As of Thursday evening, Eastman has not filed a speedy trial motion or a motion to sever his case, according to his docket.

Eastman is charged with nine counts, including solicitation as well as conspiracies to commit forgery, make false statements and impersonate a public officer. The former Trump lawyer is alleged to have been involved in a scheme to solicit public officers to unlawfully appoint Georgia presidential electors.

Defendant Kenneth Chesebro has also filed for a speedy trial, while Mark Meadows, Kenneth Clark and David Shafer have separately filed to have their cases moved into federal court.

Trump's plane has taken off from New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport en route to Atlanta for his anticipated booking at the Fulton County Jail this evening.

Judge Steve Jones has set a hearing date of Sept. 18 for former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark's bid to move his Fulton County criminal charges to federal court.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis may submit a written response to Clark's notice of removal no later than Sept. 5, according to Jones' order.

Co-defendants Mark Meadows and David Shafer are also seeking to move their cases into federal court.

The motorcade carrying Trump has arrived at Newark Liberty International Airport, where the former president is expected to board a flight to Atlanta for his anticipated booking at the Fulton County Jail this evening.

District Attorney Fani Willis is contesting former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark's request for an emergency stay of the Fulton County proceedings.

Clark had filed a motion in federal court Tuesday seeking an emergency stay of the proceedings, including his arrest warrant, until after Labor Day, so a judge could rule on his motion to remove his case to federal court.

In a filing today, Willis wrote that Clark "seeks to avoid the inconvenience and unpleasantness of being arrested ... but provides this court with no legal basis to justify those ends."

Clark has filed a separate motion seeking to remove his case to federal court on the basis that he was serving as a high-ranking DOJ official during the timeframe alleged in the DA's indictment. Former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows and former Georgia GOP chair David Shafer have also filed similar motions.

Clark is accused in the indictment of making false statements to senior DOJ officials "urging the officials to let him convey the false information to Georgia State Officials" that the DOJ had "identified significant concerns that may have impacted the outcome of the election in multiple states, including the State of Georgia."
