Staff Reports
The judge in Trump’s Georgia election case has decided to postpone any action until the state appeals court rules on whether District Attorney Fani Willis will continue on the case. This decision implies that the case is likely to be delayed until after the November election. The hearing regarding Willis’s potential conflict of interest is scheduled for October 4, making it improbable for the case to proceed to trial before the election.
Trump’s legal team has raised concerns about a conflict of interest after uncovering a secret relationship between Willis and her appointed special prosecutor, Nathan Wade. The appeals court will review the case against Willis on October 4 to determine if she should be removed.

This development is a setback for Willis, as she will not be able to contest the decision and will have no further legal recourse. However, seven defendants in the Fulton County election case, who did not challenge Willis’s removal as District Attorney, could still proceed to trial.
Overall, the delay represents a significant development in the ongoing legal battle over the election interference case.
