ATLANTA - Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has scheduled a hearing on March 28 in connection to the Georgia election interference case for one motion filed by former President Donald Trump’s attorney and two motions filed on behalf of David Shafer.

This is the first hearing since McAfee’s ruling on the motions to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her office from prosecuting Trump and his co-defendants in connection to alleged interference in the 2020 Georgia presidential election.

McAfee ruled at that time that either Willis or Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade would need to step aside for the case to proceed. A few hours later, Wade submitted his presentation.

After the ruling, a motion requesting a Certificate of Review was submitted and granted by McAfee, meaning the Georgia Court of Appeals will decide if it wishes to review McAfee’s decision.

However, McAfee stated that he would continue handling motions as needed before the trial, which has yet to be scheduled.
