The Georgia Court of Appeals ruled Thursday to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from overseeing the criminal election interference case against President-elect Donald Trump and other defendants.
The court’s decision stems from allegations of a conflict of interest, with Trump’s legal team citing Willis’ romantic relationship with a prosecutor involved in the case. Despite the disqualification, the court upheld the indictment against Trump and other defendants accused of attempting to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results.
This ruling overturns a previous decision by a Fulton County trial court judge that allowed Willis to continue prosecuting the high-profile case.
