Georgia AG Calls for Supreme Court to Reject Fani Willis' Appeal in Trump Case

Fulton County DA Fani Willis was disqualified from the Trump election case over ethical concerns, including a personal relationship with a prosecutor on the case.

Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr urged the state Supreme Court to reject Fani Willis' appeal to regain control over the Trump election interference case.
Willis was removed from the case by the Georgia Court of Appeals, citing an 'appearance of impropriety' due to her romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor she appointed.
The appellate court ruled that the trial court erred in allowing Willis to remain on the case after Wade resigned, emphasizing the need to restore public confidence in the proceedings.
The case now awaits reassignment by Georgia's Prosecuting Attorneys' Council, which could decide to proceed, negotiate resolutions, or drop the charges entirely.
Trump's defense team and political allies have criticized Willis' actions, while her removal complicates the prosecution of the high-profile case against the president-elect and 18 co-defendants.
