Judge Scott McAfee issued a certificate of immediate review on Wednesday, allowing former President Donald Trump and seven co-defendants to seek appeal of an order denying disqualification of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
“The Court finds that the order on the Defendants’ motions to Dismiss and Disqualify the Fulton County District Attorney issued March 15, 2024, ‘is of such importance to the case that immediate review should be had.” Accordingly the requested motion is granted,” McAfee wrote.
