Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee scheduled a March 1 hearing for “all things disqualification” after three rounds of witness testimony related to the motion to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from prosecuting the high-profile racketeering case against former President Donald Trump and 14 others.

Last August, President Trump and 18 co-defendants were indicted for allegedly violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act through their actions challenging the 2020 election results. Since then, four defendants have accepted plea bargains.
