The Georgia Court of Appeals has ruled that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her entire office be disqualified from prosecuting the 2020 election interference case against former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants, citing a conflict of interest. Despite her disqualification, the court stated it would not take the 'extreme sanction' of dismissing the entire indictment, allowing the case to proceed under a different prosecutor.
