The Georgia Court of Appeals has suspended a case against a co-defendant in the case against former President Donald Trump and more than a dozen others, handing a small setback to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as she fights against her disqualification.

The state appeals court on Wednesday granted the request of Coffee County elections director Misty Hampton, the Trump co-defendant, to have her case paused pending the outcome of an appeal to disqualify Ms. Willis from the case amid allegations that the district attorney had a conflict of interest.
