A state appeals court on Wednesday quietly denied a request by Donald Trump’s lead attorney to push back some key proceedings in the case aimed at dismissing the former president’s racketeering (RICO) and election subversion charges in Georgia.

In a terse, one-sentence-long order, the Georgia Court of Appeals declined to reschedule oral arguments — ruling against a request by Trump’s attorney, Steve Sadow, to grant a continuance for him to accommodate long-ago scheduled international travel plans.

      This is about Trumps lawyer, I don’t think he’s been charged with any crimes yet.

      Definitely right in denying it though.

        The lawyer shouldn’t have a passport due to association with Trump suggesting they are complicit in the traitorous schemes.
