Trump and Co-defendants Appeal Decision Keeping DA Fani Willis on Georgia Case

The appeal challenges a ruling that found no conflict of interest but acknowledged an appearance of impropriety, as the Georgia Court of Appeals deliberates on whether to proceed.

Former President Donald Trump and eight co-defendants have formally appealed a judge's decision allowing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to remain on the Georgia election interference case.
The appeal challenges Judge Scott McAfee's ruling, which found no conflict of interest requiring Willis's disqualification but noted an 'appearance of impropriety.'
The appeal argues that Willis's relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade and her public statements have compromised the case's integrity.
The Georgia Court of Appeals has 45 days to decide whether to take up the matter, with the potential for further appeal to the Georgia Supreme Court.
The controversy surrounding Willis and Wade's relationship has overshadowed the serious allegations against Trump and others in one of four criminal cases stemming from the 2020 election.
