June 6:  An appeals court has halted the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump and others while it reviews the lower court judge’s ruling allowing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to remain on the case.

The Georgia Court of Appeals’ order on Wednesday prevents Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee from moving forward with pretrial motions as he had planned while the appeal is pending.

If Willis voluntarily recuses herself, there is no need for the appeal and therefore, there is at least a chance that the case will go to trial before the November general election.

Fani Willis should recuse herself and her office should petition the Court of Appeals to dismiss the appeal as moot.
