Prosecutors Push 90-Day Extension for New Attorney in Trump Election Interference Case

Georgia prosecutors have requested a 90-day extension to appoint a new attorney in the election interference case against President Donald Trump and 14 co-defendants, citing a heavy backlog and the challenges of finding qualified candidates. The request comes as the original attorney assigned to the case has yet to be replaced due to unavailability. If granted, the extension would push the deadline for naming a replacement from its current September 1 date to March 1. The delay is part of a broader challenge facing prosecutors in handling several high-profile cases simultaneously.
