Fulton 19 update: Lawmaker wants case tossed, Yeezy’s ex-publicist changes counsel

Appeals court halts Trump’s Georgia case during appeal of order allowing Willis to stay on case The Georgia Court of Appeals’ order on Wednesday prevents Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee from moving forward with pretrial motions while it reviews the lower court judge’s ruling allowing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to remain on the case. Read more.

Why this matters: It was already unlikely that the case would go to trial before the November general election, when Trump is expected to be the Republican nominee for president; 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. All of the defendants were charged with violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations, or RICO, law. Four people charged in the case have pleaded guilty.   Trump and eight other defendants had tried to get Willis and her office removed from the case, arguing that a romantic relationship she had with special prosecutor Nathan Wade created a conflict of interest. McAfee in March found that no conflict of interest existed, but granted a request to seek an appeal of his ruling from the state Court of Appeals.

Trump

 

A Georgia appeals court has halted the election subversion conspiracy case against former President Donald Trump and several of his co-defendants — a massive victory for the Trump team seeking to push his legal issues until 2025 if they can't beat them altogether. The new order from the Georgia Court of Appeals is the latest indication that a trial in the state-level Georgia election subversion case will not occur before the 2024 presidential election. The court said the case will be on hold until a panel of judges rules on whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified. On Wednesday, Trump and his allies also vowed legal revenge against his opponents if he regains control of the White House. Trump promised to prosecute President Joe Biden using state and local prosecutors, the Justice Department, or even a special counsel.
