Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis‘s RICO case against former President Donald J. Trump has been put on hold by the Georgia Court of Appeals until after the 2024 presidential election. The court placed a temporary stay on the proceedings until it resolves whether Willis should be allowed to remain as the prosecuting attorney.
The stay order stems from an appeal filed by defendants Michael Roman, David Shafer, Robert Cheely, Mark Meadows, Donald Trump, Cathleen Latham, Rudy Giuliani, Jeff Clark, and Harrison Floyd. They are asking the Georgia Court of Appeals to overturn a decision by Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee that allows Willis to remain on the case despite having engaged in ethical breaches.
In January, former President Trump‘s co-defendant, Micahel Roman, revealed that Willis had engaged in a clandestine romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, who she had appointed to be a special prosecutor on the RICO case. Despite Willis’s admission to the relationship and the defendants presenting a bevy of evidence that Willis had violated state legal and professional ethics, McAfee ruled that she could remain as a prosecutor if Wade resigned from his role.
The Georgia Court of Appeals will hear the appeal to disqualify Willis from the case in October. Trump’s attorney, Steven Sadow, expressed confidence in presenting arguments to Judges Brown, Markle, and Land, emphasizing Willis’s alleged misconduct.
