Donald Trump received a piece of very good news this week with regard to one of the four criminal cases he is currently facing.

As Fox News reports, the Georgia Court of Appeals has decided to review the former president's bid to overturn Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee's prior decision permitting embattled District Attorney Fani Willis to remain on the election interference case against Trump and a host of co-defendants.

Willis' outster sought

Trump requested that the appeals court revisit McAfee's March order allowing Willis to remain involved in the prosecution of the former president as long as special prosecutor Nathan Wade stepped down from his role in the matter.

Willis and Wade were the subject of allegations that they had been involved in a romantic relationship prior to the latter's hiring to work on the Trump case, a scenario that defense lawyers claim led to improper financial benefits and a serious conflict of interest.

The pair asserted that their affair began after Wade started working on the election interference case, and both denied suggestions that any financial wrongdoing occurred.

Though McAfee determined that Willis could remain on the case if Wade did not, he noted in his opinion that because of an “appearance of impropriety” regarding the relationship he would grant Trump and the relevant co-defendants the ability to immediately appeal his order, as NBC News noted at the time.

When McAfee permitted the immediate appeal, Trump attorney Steve Sadow said that the ruling was “highly significant” and stated that the “defense is optimistic that appellate review will lead to the case being dismissed and the DA being disqualified.”

Appeals court accepts case

Sadow's prediction will now be tested, given that the Court of Appeals has agreed to hear the matter.

In a statement issued after news of the panel's decision broke, Sadow declared, “President Trump looks forward to presenting interlocutory arguments to the Georgia Court of Appeals as to why the case should be dismissed and Fulton County DA Willis should be disqualified for her misconduct in this unjustified, unwarranted political persecution.”

Should Willis ultimately find herself disqualified from the matter, the trial would likely suffer delays extending well beyond the November election – if the case survives at all.

As NBC News noted separately earlier this year, a new prosecutor would have to be selected to handle the case, something which former federal prosecutor Amy Lee Copeland said is a “massive undertaking.”

Even then, she added, a new prosecutor might decided to amend or reduce the charges against Trump or “decide not to pursue” the matter in its entirety.

More good news for Trump

It was not only in the Georgia election case that Trump saw positive developments this week, as U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday indefinitely postponed trial in the classified documents case currently pending in Florida, as CBS News reports, a decision made due to ongoing disputes over evidence and special counsel Jack Smith's handling of materials seized from Mar-a-Lago in 2022.

These developments, combined with the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court is currently weighing Trump's immunity claims related to the Jan. 6 federal case in D.C., and Alvin Bragg's hush money case in Manhattan is widely seen as falling apart in real time, the former president appears to be notching some real victories against those engaging in lawfare as a means to derail his path to the White House.
