Trump wins big in Georgia after RICO case stalled

The ruling means it will be nearly impossible for the case to head to trial before the November presidential election.

On Tuesday, the Georgia Court of Appeals scheduled its hearing to weigh an effort from Trump and eight other co-defendants to disqualify Willis from trying her case against the former president over his alleged attempts to overturn the Peach State’s 2020 election results. That hearing is set for early October.
