Trump Granted Appeal in Georgia Election Case

Judge allows appeal over decision to keep DA Fani Willis on the case, citing potential conflict of interest.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee granted Donald Trump and eight co-defendants the right to appeal a decision allowing District Attorney Fani Willis to stay on the Georgia election interference case.
The appeal must be filed within 10 days, and the Georgia Court of Appeals has 45 days to decide whether to take the case.
The case will continue while the Court of Appeals processes the appeal, according to McAfee's ruling.
Defendants argue that Willis’s romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade and her financial benefits from vacations they took together create an appearance of impropriety.
If the appellate court decides to disqualify Willis, it could significantly delay the prosecution while a new prosecutor is selected.
