Georgia Court Pauses Trump Election Case Amid D.A. Challenge

The Georgia Court of Appeals has temporarily halted the 2020 election case against former President Donald Trump to review a ruling that allowed Fulton County DA Fani Willis to continue prosecuting despite a romantic relationship with a special prosecutor. The stay affects Trump and eight co-defendants, delaying the trial likely past the November election. The appeals court will hear arguments on October 4, with a decision due by March 2025. This pause means only one of Trump's four criminal cases will have gone to trial by the election.
