The Georgia Court of Appeals on Tuesday issued an order granting a request from former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants to hear oral arguments in their disqualification efforts of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis after the 2024 general election.

The state court will hear those arguments on Dec. 5, or about a full month after the presidential election, according to court documents. The court initially set an Oct. 4 date for arguments.
