Georgia Appeals Court Disqualifies DA Fani Willis and Office from President-elect Trump's Election Case

Dec 19, 2024, 04:03 PM

Fani Willis, the Fulton County District Attorney, along with her entire office, has been disqualified from prosecuting the election interference case against President-elect Donald Trump and his co-defendants, following a ruling by the Georgia Court of Appeals. The appeals court's decision cited a conflict of interest involving Willis's relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade. While the indictment against Trump still stands and the case is not dismissed, the future of the prosecution is uncertain. The Prosecuting Attorneys Council of Georgia will determine if the case proceeds.
