"Trump Co-Defendant Granted Permission to Seek Pre-Trial Appeal in Georgia Election Interference Case"

Harrison Floyd, a co-defendant of Trump in the Georgia 2020 election interference case, has been granted permission to seek an appeal of a prior ruling that denied his claim that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis lacked authority to bring charges without a referral from the State Election Board. The charges against Floyd stem from allegations of attempting to coerce a former election worker into admitting election fraud. This ruling poses a potential challenge for Willis, who has faced accusations of impropriety in her hiring of a former lead prosecutor and has requested an August trial date for Trump and his co-defendants.
