On Wednesday, the appeals court agreed to hear arguments by lawyers for Trump and co-defendants in the sweeping racketeering case related to the 2020 election. John Malcolm, a former assistant U.S. Attorney in Atlanta, said there's "not a chance" Trump's Georgia election interference case will go to trial before November. "Although the odds of the Georgia case coming to trial quickly were never very good, now that the Georgia Court of Appeals has agreed to consider the recusal issue, there is not a chance the Georgia case is going to go to trial before the November election," Malcolm told Fox News Digital. Kreis explained that it's not guaranteed the appeals court will hold oral arguments in the case and could just decide it based on briefings by both parties. The earliest the appeals court could hear the case is August of this year.
