Georgia Election Case: Judge Sets New Prosecutor Deadline | JQJO

A Georgia judge has granted the agency tasked with finding a replacement prosecutor in the election interference case against Donald Trump and others a new deadline of November 14. While the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council had sought at least 90 days after receiving the case file, Judge Scott McAfee's decision offers a more limited extension. The case's future remains uncertain following the disqualification of District Attorney Fani Willis due to an "appearance of impropriety" stemming from a past romantic relationship with a hired prosecutor. The council's executive director stated the physical file is expected in about four weeks, hindering their ability to find a suitable replacement.
