Georgia Appeals Court Agrees To Reconsider Fani Willis Ruling
HuffPost
The decision will further delay another of Trump's criminal trials.
The Georgia Court of Appeals has agreed to reconsider a lower court’s decision allowing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to remain on the case prosecuting Donald Trump’s alleged interference in the 2020 election in Georgia.
In a win for Trump and eight other co-defendants, the decision will postpone the trial there ― potentially past the November presidential election.
Trump lawyer Steve Sadow celebrated the news on social media Wednesday morning.
“The GA Court of Appeals has GRANTED President Trump’s Application for Interlocutory Appeal from the trial court’s order refusing to disqualify Fulton County DA Fani Willis!!!” he wrote on X, formerly called Twitter.
The judge overseeing the case, Scott McAfee, ruled in March that Willis could continue her work on the case despite having had a personal relationship with Nathan Wade, one of the prosecutors she’d assigned to it.
