The Georgia Court of Appeals officially put the racketeering case against former President Donald Trump on hold.
The appeals court ordered Judge Scott McAfee to pause all proceedings pending its coming ruling on the defendants’ bid to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the case. McAfee previously allowed Willis to stay on the case despite finding “a significant appearance of impropriety” in her romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who defendants allege she financially benefited from appointing.
The appeals court agreed to take up the matter in May. It will hear oral arguments on Oct. 4.
