Trump and Co-defendants Seek Appeal Over Judge's Decision on Fani Willis in Georgia Case

Former President Donald Trump and several co-defendants have initiated an appeal process against a judge's ruling that allows Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to remain on their Georgia election interference case.

Trump and his co-defendants request to appeal a judge's ruling that denied the disqualification of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the Georgia election interference case.
Nathan Wade, the lead prosecutor appointed by Willis, resigned following the judge's ruling, which identified a 'significant appearance of impropriety' due to their romantic relationship.
The defense argues that Wade's resignation does not sufficiently address the 'appearance of impropriety' and seeks a higher court's review on the matter.
The motion for appeal emphasizes the importance of ensuring that Willis and her office are disqualified from the case, citing concerns over impartiality and potential retrial risks.
The judge's decision to allow Willis to stay on the case, despite the controversy, has prompted a significant legal challenge, with the defense seeking immediate appellate review.
