Trump Election Case Faces 90-Day Delay as Prosecutors Seek to Replace Lead Attorney

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 an experienced expert to replace former attorney John Paul Roney. The request is part of ongoing efforts to prepare for trial, which is currently set for March 2024. Prosecutors believe that finding a suitable replacement could take time due to the high demand for qualified attorneys in the case. The extension would help ensure that the case can proceed without significant delays.
