Legal battle in Georgia involving District Attorney Fani Willis and former President Donald Trump
The Georgia Court of Appeals agreed to review a decision by a Fulton County Superior Court judge who declined to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis and her office from the 2020 election case against former President Donald Trump due to a personal relationship Willis had with a prosecutor. Trump and his allies were charged in a racketeering case accusing them of trying to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. The case was derailed after allegations of an improper romantic relationship between Willis and a special prosecutor. Trump awaits arguments to dismiss the case and disqualify Willis from leading the prosecution.
