Democrats have been celebrating ever since former President Donald Trump was convicted in a New York criminal case that he claims was rigged. Democrats don’t care how the conviction occurred because all they want is to “get Trump.”
That conviction may not hold up on appeal to the highest court in the land, which isn’t influenced by judges who donate to Democrat candidates. Trump still faces other criminal trials, but he has gained a win that could affect the November election.
Trump has faced off with an aggressive liberal prosecutor in Florida who wants Trump out of contention for the presidency. Her case has been interrupted by charges that she isn’t fit to try the case.
From Fox News:
In a major setback to the Fulton County District Attorney, the Georgia Court of Appeals on Wednesday put a pause on any proceedings related to the 2020 election interference case against former President Trump and co-defendants until it hears the case to disqualify Fani Willis in October.The appeals court has tentatively scheduled a hearing date of Oct. 4 for the appeal by Trump and his co-defendants to have embattled Willis disqualified from the case due to an “improper” affair with former special prosecutor Nathan Wade.
The appeals court action all but solidifies that Willis’ sweeping racketeering case against the 45th president will not go to trial before the 2024 election in November.
Trump’s attorneys quickly applauded the appeals court ruling. They agreed with efforts to disqualify Willis for her alleged misconduct.
Trump and 18 co-defendants were indicted in August after an extensive criminal investigation led by Willis and state prosecutors in Georgia. The charges surrounded Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in the state.
Willis and her hand-picked team of liberal-leaning prosecutors faltered throughout the case against Trump. Some charges were tossed, and Willis was accused of an “improper affair.”
Six counts of “solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer” were dismissed because the judge in the case said the state failed to allege sufficient detail.
Willis was put under the spotlight when Trump’s co-defendants charged that she had an affair with the original special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who eventually resigned from the case.
Republicans in the Georgia legislature and in both chambers of the U.S. Congress have opened probes into actions by Willis. Legislators are concerned about alleged misuse of federal funds.
Key Takeaways:
- Georgia court put the brakes on DA trying to get Trump for alleged election interference.
- District Attorney Fani Willis is forced to face the Georgia Court of Appeals over her actions.
- Defendants in the case charged that Willis should be disqualified over an alleged affair.
