"Trump's Appeal to Remove Fani Willis from GA RICO Case Revived by Georgia Judge"

Judge Scott McAfee has allowed the defendants in the Georgia RICO case, including Donald Trump, to seek an immediate interlocutory appeal, potentially delaying the trial until after the election. Last week, McAfee denied Trump's motion to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis but agreed to remove special prosecutor Nathan Wade due to an apparent conflict. The defendants have been granted permission to argue to the appeals court that the DA's office should be removed from the case entirely. Despite this, McAfee intends to continue addressing pending pretrial motions unless directed otherwise by an appellate court.
