ATLANTA, GA — The Georgia Court of Appeals halts next month’s scheduled oral argument in the election racketeering case against President-elect Donald Trump and eight codefendants.
The President-elect’s codefendants are Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows, U.S. Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, Trump staff member Michael Roman, Former state senator and former Georgia GOP chair David Shafer, Georgia lawyer Robert Cheeley, Former Coffee County GOP chair Cathleen Latham, and Harrison Floyd, who is associated with the organization Black Voices for Trump.
The notice today canceling the hearing gives no explanation but says it is canceled until further notice.
The defense has been trying to get Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis taken of the case claiming misconduct because of her romantic relationship with Former Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade.
Trump’s Atlanta attorney was already planning to ask the appeals court to toss the entire case now that Trump is heading back to the White House.
The Fulton County case and other criminal cases against Trump are in limbo since he won the presidential election.
