The planned dec 5th hearing for Donald Trumpʼs Georgia racketeering case got cancelled with no clear reason given; its future remains up-in-air
A major discussion about Fani Willis (the lead prosecutor) was supposed to happen due to her relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade - theres questions about trips they took together and when their relationship started. Willis says she paid-back all trip costs and their relationship began after she hired him
Trumpʼs recent win in presidential election has made things extra-complex for his legal troubles: in fact the Washington DC election case got shut-down already‚ because you cant prosecute a sitting president (thats what special counsel Jack Smith pointed-out)
The Georgia case - which made history when it got Trump his first-ever mug-shot last summer - faces some real timing issues. His lawyer Steve Sadow brought up an interesting point: the Constitutionʼs supremacy clause might push everything back till 2029 (when a second Trump term would end)
The whole situation started back in aug 2023 when a grand jury said Trump tried to mess with Georgiaʼs 2020 election results. Now after his election win and all this relationship drama between Willis and Wade‚ nobody really knows whats next for this once-serious case
