Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' case against former President Donald Trump in Georgia may have been dealt a blow after the judge presiding over the matter agreed to hear pretrial motions and an appeal against Willis' ability to bring charges against one of the defendants.
In August, Trump and 18 other defendants were indicted as part of Willis' probe into alleged interference in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
On March 28, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee is expected to hear arguments from Trump's lawyers that the Georgia election interference case is intended to criminalize political speech. He is also set to hear two pretrial motions from David Shafer, a former chair of the Georgia Republican Party.
Additionally, McAfee has decided to allow an appeal to the Georgia Court of Appeals by Harrison Floyd, a former director of Black Voices for Trump, whose lawyers argue that Willis did not have the authority to bring election-related charges against him.
In a 98-page indictment, Willis said, among other charges, that Trump had "unlawfully conspired" to change the result of the election. She also alleged that the former president violated Georgia's racketeering act.
Trump has denied all charges and has repeatedly criticized Willis.

Excellent.
She’s dealing blow??? That’s illegal!
Here it is with Viva Frei commentary.
Thanks for the link.
All he did was agree to hear the arguments.
Some black women should just stick to cooking pancakes.
I see what you did there.
Marion Barry must be rolling in his grave.
You can have my share.
also there is this with fani’s failure to respond to a request for documents by noon on march 28:

How’s her love life going and how much is it costing the taxpayers?
What ticks me off so much about this is they are charging Trump for doing what democrats did with the Russia collusion hoax which was treated like the revelation of the Holy grail location.
She is rather ample in that department.
McAfee’s rulings contain a huge amount of politics. Who knows.
Sticking? No, there’s plenty of lard there!
I do not trust this judge to rule on anything good for Trump. The whole judicial system to curput.
Two questions for all these lawyers:
1. Is it unlawful to try to overturn fraudulent election results?
2. Is it unlawful to seek to uphold fraudulent election results?
Seems to me that the whole issue depends on whether the results were fraudulent. If they were, then the state of Georgia is guilty of the very thing they’re charging Trump with - conspiracy to commit election fraud.
The government cannot tell you what you can say or not say...unless it's Trump.
Remember Gore...Count every vote...day after day...same as "something ain't right".
And that this got turned into a RICO case??? Absurd.
I thin after listening yesterday...McAfee is questioning the entire case.
Let's see if the Court of Appeals will take this up...and do the right thing.
