In a Wednesday order, the Georgia’s Court of Appeals paused proceedings in Donald Trump’s criminal election racketeering case in Fulton County, awaiting a decision on whether District Attorney Fani Willis will be allowed to stay on the case.
Just a week after the former president’s 34-count felony conviction — stemming from falsifying records in an effort to interfere in the 2016 election — the appellate court is granting him a legal break, stalling prosecution against Trump and his co-conspirators’ efforts to overturn the will of Georgia’s voters in 2020.
