The Georgia Court of Appeals dealt a major blow to the Fulton County District Attorney on Wednesday, suspending all proceedings related to the 2020 election interference lawsuit against former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants until it hears Fani Willis’ disbarment lawsuit in October.
The appeals court has tentatively scheduled an October 4 date for hearing an appeal by Trump and his co-defendants that argues Willis was removed from the case because of her “inappropriate” relationship with former special counsel Nathan Wade.
The appeals court’s action all but ensures that Willis’ massive organized crime lawsuit against the 45th president will not go to trial before the November 2024 election.
