Donald Trump’s criminal case in Georgia is now on hold — indefinitely.
The Georgia Court of Appeals announced Monday that it has canceled arguments that were set for next month in the president-elect’s bid to kick Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis off of the case in which he’s charged with conspiring to corrupt Georgia’s 2020 election results.
The one-page order, signed by the clerk of the court, doesn’t explain the decision to scuttle the scheduled Dec. 5 arguments or identify which judges signed off on it. All four of Trump’s criminal cases have now faced delays since his election to a second presidential term.

A spokesperson for Willis and an attorney for Trump did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Legal experts say the two federal cases are all but dead due to Trump’s victory at the polls, while the Georgia case and another criminal case in New York face legal hurdles that could see further proceedings stalled for the duration of Trump’s second term.
The Georgia court’s decision comes on the eve of a crucial moment in the New York case, where he had been facing imminent sentencing on his conviction for seeking to cover up a hush money scheme. And special counsel Jack Smith is preparing to unwind his own criminal prosecutions of Trump in Washington, D.C., and Florida, with a status report due in both cases early next month.
