From the Daily Caller: On Monday the Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia canceled the oral arguments scheduled for Dec. 5 concerning the potential disqualification of Fani Willis.
In a court filing obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation, it did not provide specific reasons for the sudden cancellation.
Willis filed a motion to dismiss an appeal on June 12 that aimed to disqualify her from the racketeering case involving President-elect Donald Trump and his co-defendants, citing “insufficient evidence” as the reason, according to Atlanta First News. In response, Trump’s legal team branded her motion as merely a desperate “Hail Mary” attempt, lacking any legal or factual foundation.
The Georgia Court of Appeals ordered a temporary hold on the racketeering case against Trump in June. The appellate court directed Judge Scott McAfee to freeze all current proceedings while it deliberates on the defendants’ request to remove Willis from the case.
Legal analyst Phil Holloway announced, “🚨🚨 BREAKING LEGAL NEWS 🚨🚨 The Georgia Court of Appeals has abruptly cancelled oral argument in the #FaniWillis Trump RICO disqualification appeal.”

Holloway added:
I’m efforting to learn more as the the reason, but sources with direct knowledge of the appeal do not currently know the reason. It *might* mean the court is prepared to rule on the basis of the briefs that have been filed. If so, that likely means bad news for Willis.
For those asking me to explain this, all I have is what you see. It is literally a one-sentence order issued with no further reasoning or comment. If and when I learn more, I will post more. I suspect this is bad news for Willis, but we shall see.

Looks like the Georgia case, as applied to President Trump, is dead. If not now, it will be.https://t.co/94XnC85oyV

Last week, Republican attorneys general from 20 states signed a letter demanding the political prosecutions against Trump be halted.
Indiana AG Todd Rokita posted the letter and wrote, “We are calling on Attorney General Letitia James, District Attorney Fani Willis, and Jack Smith to immediately discontinue their political prosecutions against @realdonaldtrump. The American people sent a clear message last week about who they want to lead them into the future. For the sake of our nation, the prosecutions must end now. Read here:”
