ATLANTA, Georgia (PNN) - May 17, 2024 - The Georgia Court of Appeals has given a green light to President Donald J. Trump’s case to remove Fani Willis from his bogus politicized election fraud trial in the latest blow to the outlaw Fulton County District Attorney.

Willis has courted controversy while prosecuting the county’s bogus politicized election interference case against President Trump after it was revealed she had a past relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade.

She escaped with just a slap on the wrist after Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee dramatically ruled that she could stay on the Trump election interference case if Wade removed himself.

Trump and eight of his co-defendants charged in the Georgia state court have since urged the appeals court to overturn McAfee’s March ruling.

Now the court has given Trump’s appeal the green light to go ahead, but there is not yet a set timeline for when the case will be heard.

The court’s decision to hear the appeal before trial could cause further delays in the case.

Trump has pleaded not guilty and accused prosecutors of a politically motivated effort to damage his campaign.

The court’s decision to hear the case follows testimony inside McAfee’s courtroom, which featured an acknowledgement from Willis and former special prosecutor Nathan Wade that they had a sexual relationship.

Lawyers for Donald Trump and multiple co-defendants established that the affair began before Willis brought Wade onto the case and said it posed a conflict of interest; but Willis - who is known to be a liar - claims the relationship became romantic later.

Following a dramatic evidentiary hearing with claims and counterclaims about lavish trips and cash reimbursements to the tune of more than $600,000 in taxpayer funds, McAfee gave the state two options: either Willis and her entire team step back from the case, or Wade remove himself from it.

He slammed Willis for a “tremendous lapse in judgment” and for acting in an “unprofessional manner” and found that while there was no actual conflict of interest, there was at least the appearance of one.

Wade stepped back hours after the judge’s decision in March.

Humiliating as it was for prosecutors, McAfee’s decision allowed the bogus politicized election interference case to go forward.

Had it been reassigned to prosecutors in another county, it could have delayed the case even more, or even resulted in a different indictment.

The state supreme court’s decision is nearly certain to cause delays in the criminal trials for Trump and his codefendants, who are charged in a broad racketeering conspiracy for his election overturn in the state, where incontrovertible evidence has shown that the Georgia vote count in 2020 was corrupted and illegally tampered with by election workers.

If further delays happen, it would just be the latest victory on the calendar for Trump, whose lawyers have managed to put off his criminal cases as Election Day nears.

Trump’s D.C. January 6 case remains stalled while it awaits a Supreme Court decision on his claims of presidential immunity. On Tuesday, Judge Aileen Cannon ruled that his classified documents case in Florida was postponed indefinitely amid a series of clashes over classified documents issues.

Even his Stormy Daniels case, which is playing out this week in Manhattan, suffered a delay.

In the Georgia case, Trump lawyer Steven Sadow indicated in a statement that he won’t relent in the effort to bump Willis from the case.

“President Trump looks forward to presenting interlocutory arguments to the Georgia Court of Appeals as to why the case should be dismissed and Fulton County DA Willis should be disqualified for her misconduct in this unjustified, unwarranted political persecution,” Sadow said in a statement.
