Trump Lawyers Push to Disqualify Georgia DA Fani Willis Over Alleged Racial Bias
Legal team argues Willis's public comments compromise Trump's right to a fair trial in the Georgia election interference case.
- Trump's legal team claims Willis's remarks at a church event show racial animus against Trump and his co-defendants.
- The defense argues Willis's comments were intended to prejudice potential jurors by depicting the defendants as racists.
- Judge Scott McAfee previously criticized Willis's remarks but did not find sufficient grounds for disqualification.
- The appeals court is set to hear arguments on the disqualification request in December.
- Willis's office has denied the allegations, maintaining her comments were responses to political criticism.
