Georgia prosecutors have requested a 90-day extension to appoint a new attorney in the election interference case against President Donald Trump and 14 co-defendants, citing a heavy backlog and the case’s complexity.

The Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia (PACGA) has been tasked with replacing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis after she was permanently sidelined from prosecuting the case last month.

The council’s executive director, Pete Skandalakis, filed an extension request on Friday to name a district attorney pro tempore, writing that said the case file is so large that PACGA doesn’t expect to receive it for about four weeks, meaning an appointment may not come until January or February 2026.
