(CNN) — A Georgia appeals court halted the election subversion conspiracy case against former President Donald Trump and several of his co-defendants until a panel of judges decides whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified, according to a new order filed Wednesday.
The new order filed Wednesday by the Georgia Court of Appeals is the latest indication that a trial in Georgia’s statewide election subversion case will not take place before the 2024 presidential election.
The appeals court is expected to rule on the disqualification issue in March 2025, although it could issue a ruling sooner. Several sources close to the case have told CNN that the timeline remains very uncertain.
Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee initially allowed the proceedings to continue in his courtroom while the court considered an appeal of his decision to allow Willis to remain on the case.
