Georgia Appeals Court Sets December Hearing on Trump's Bid to Disqualify DA Fani Willis
The hearing, scheduled for a month after the presidential election, delays the case against Trump and co-defendants.
- The Georgia Court of Appeals will hear arguments on December 5 regarding the removal of Fulton County DA Fani Willis from Trump's election interference case.
- Trump's legal team argues for Willis's disqualification due to her past relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who resigned from the case.
- The appeals court's decision to delay the hearing until after the election raises questions about the case's future if Trump wins the presidency.
- A three-judge panel, all appointed by Republican governors, will oversee the appeal.
- This delay follows a series of legal maneuvers that have kept the case in a state of limbo.
