An
appeals court
has halted the
Georgia election interference
case against former prez
Donald Trump
and others while it reviews the lower court judge’s ruling allowing
Fulton County district attorney
Fani Willis to remain on the case.
The Georgia Court of Appeals’ order on Wednesday prevents Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee from moving forward with
pretrial motions
as he had planned while the appeal is pending.
While it was already unlikely that the case would go to trial before the Nov election, when Trump is expected to be the Republican nominee for prez, this makes that even more certain.
A Fulton County grand jury in August
indicted
Trump and 18 others, accusing them of participating in a sprawling scheme to illegally try to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.It is one of four
criminal cases
against Trump.
