Georgia court makes sudden change in Trump-Willis legal schedule

The Georgia Appeals Court made an un-expected move late monday when it suddenly cancelled oral arguments in the high-profile legal dispute between Donald Trump and Fulton County DA Fani T. Willis; the hearing was set for early dec

This last-minute change affects the former presidents attempt to remove Willis from prosecuting the election-related case (which started about 3 years ago). The court didnt give any reasons for this schedule change which left many legal-teams confused

The now-cancelled hearing was gonna look into Trumpʼs challenge of a lower courts decision that kept Willis as lead prosecutor. Its worth noting that this case involves several co-defendants and deals with actions following the twenty-twenty election: many legal-watchers were surprised by this development

The courts brief notice — which came without warning — simply stated that arguments are cancelled “until further order“ of the court. This short-notice development affects both the prosecution team and defense lawyers who had been getting ready for the dec hearing
