"Willis dismisses idea of pausing Trump's Georgia trial for reelection bid"

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis dismisses attempts by former President Trump's attorneys to delay the Georgia case against him due to the 2024 election, calling it a "silly notion." Willis is pushing for a trial next year and has requested an August trial date. Trump and his co-defendants are accused of attempting to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. Four defendants have pleaded guilty, and Willis wants the remaining 15 to be tried together, although logistical challenges may arise. Trump's attorneys have employed similar delay strategies in other criminal cases.
