The Georgia Court of Appeals has scheduled hearings in Donald Trump's effort to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the former president's election interference case for December, a month after the presidential election.
Lawyers for the convicted president have been seeking to remove Willis over her romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, whom she appointed as special prosecutor in the case accusing Trump and 18 co-defendants for trying to subvert the 2020 presidential elections results in the southern state.
The former president's lawyers claim that both Willis and Wade financially benefited from his appointment due to their romance.
In March, Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled against Trump, finding that there was no conflict of interest due the Willis-Wade relationship, but recognized that one could see it as such and said Willis could stay on the case if Wade resigned, which he did. Trump's lawyers then appealed the decision in May, with McAfee last month putting the entire case on hold amid the appeal process.
On Tuesday, the Georgia Court of Appeals approved the request for oral arguments, and scheduled the hearings for Dec. 5, exactly one month after the presidential elections.
The ruling is another legal victory for Trump, who was officially announced Monday as the Republican nominee for president, as the strategy of his legal teams in all the cases appears to be to delay trial until after the general election.

“Lawyers for the convicted president”
No bias from this news outlet. Nosireebob....
Nope, no bias there, is there. Evil scum writers at MSN.
I bet it’s held on the 12th of never
Trump IS going to be President come January 2025. Georgia “powers” KNOW it will not be good for Georgia to be on Trump and Vance’s shit list. Fani’s criminal case against all defendants will be thrown out by the appeals courts after several 18th green meetings by the boys with the juice in Georgia. Been there done that, I know how it works.
They know!
They are toast!
These lawfare updates are great as of late.
Yeah, because the strategy of the various prosecutors was to find him guilty and jail him BEFORE the election.
There's no more value in a trial after the election.
Fani Clap Cheeks.
