It comes shortly after Trump's judge in his Florida case indefinitely delayed the trial there.

After the trial judge, Scott McAfee, rejected a bid to kick Willis off the case, Trump and his co-defendants sought permission to appeal that ruling.

Trump and his co-defendants have alleged that Willis had a financial conflict of interest because she was dating special prosecutor Nathan Wade and taking lavish vacations with him at the same time that her office was paying him on a contract basis to run the Trump case. Wadeafter McAfee ruled that the relationship created the “appearance of conflict” but that Willis could remain on the case if Wade stepped down.
In addition to the Florida case, Trump’s other federal criminal case — on charges that he criminally conspired to subvert the 2020 election — is also teetering as the Supreme Court considers whether to declare him immune from the charges altogether. A trial this year is still possible if the justices do not grant Trump the sweeping presidential immunity he says should block the prosecution.
