The Georgia Court of Appeals has issued a temporary halt on proceedings related to the 2020 election case involving former President Donald Trump. The court is reviewing the ruling of a trial judge, which allowed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to continue prosecuting the case.

The stay only applies to Trump and eight co-defendants who sought Willis’ and her office’s removal from the case. The reason for the disqualification bid was an alleged improper relationship between Willis and Nathan Wade, who was serving as a special prosecutor in the case.

The appeals court panel comprised of three judges will commence to hear arguments in the disqualification bid on October 4. The hearing is part of the August term, and a decision on this matter will have to be rendered by March 14, 2025.

The case adds to the continuing controversy surrounding the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election. The allegations of election fraud and impropriety in the election results have caused widespread concern among the American public and resulted in ongoing legal challenges in several states. Appeals such as this one show that the legal process continues to work through the issues.
