Georgia Court Delays Trump Appeal in Election Case

The Georgia Court of Appeals has indefinitely postponed oral arguments in a criminal case against President-elect Donald Trump, who is charged with conspiring to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. This decision halts proceedings aimed at removing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the case. The delay is part of a broader trend, as all four of Trump's criminal cases have faced setbacks following his re-election. Legal experts suggest that Trump's recent electoral victory may further complicate ongoing legal challenges.

"Fani Willis Stands Firm Against Trump's Attempt to Remove Her from Georgia Election Subversion Case"

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is resisting attempts by Donald Trump and his co-defendants to disqualify her office from prosecuting the Georgia election subversion case, arguing that there was no conflict of interest and no misconduct. The appeals court is considering the request to review the initial ruling that allowed Willis to remain on the case, while Trump's legal team is also seeking to have the indictment tossed on First Amendment grounds. Willis plans to continue with the prosecution, aiming to put Trump and his co-defendants on trial before the November presidential election.

"Georgia Judge Grants Trump Appeal in Fani Willis Case"

Judge Scott McAfee granted former President Donald Trump and co-defendants a certificate of immediate review, allowing them to seek appeal of an order denying disqualification of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from their election interference case. The case involves 41-count indictment of trying to overturn Trump's 2020 election loss in Georgia. Trump's legal team appealed McAfee's decision, and if the Georgia Court of Appeals takes up the case, it could cause a substantial delay as prosecutors aim to go to trial and seek a verdict before the 2024 election.
