Fani Willis fights to end Trump’s appeal over disqualification
SUMMARY
Fulton County prosecutors have asked a Georgia appellate court to dismiss Donald Trump’s appeal against a state court ruling permitting District Attorney Fani Willis to prosecute a racketeering case against Trump and his allies. Assistant DA Donald Wakeford argued that the trial court found no conflict of interest warranting Willis’s removal. Trump’s legal team alleges misconduct by Willis, citing an improper relationship with attorney Nathan Wade, but Judge Scott McAfee addressed this by requiring Wade’s resignation. The appellate court has paused lower court proceedings and postponed oral arguments, with a decision on the motion to dismiss pending.
