Trump Urges Georgia Supreme Court to Uphold DA Fani Willis' Disqualification

The President-elect's legal team opposes Willis' appeal, citing the appearance of impropriety in her involvement with a special prosecutor.

  • President-elect Donald Trump has filed a response requesting the Georgia Supreme Court deny DA Fani Willis' appeal to reverse her disqualification in the 2020 election interference case.
  • Willis was disqualified by the Georgia Court of Appeals in December due to her relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, which was deemed a significant appearance of impropriety.
  • Trump's legal team argues that Willis' appeal lacks merit and that her disqualification is consistent with legal precedent in Georgia.
  • The appeals court had overturned an earlier ruling allowing Willis to stay on the case if Wade resigned, which he subsequently did.
  • If the Georgia Supreme Court sides with Willis, she could potentially resume prosecuting the case, though Trump's upcoming inauguration complicates her ability to pursue charges against him.
