Trump Falsely Claims His Georgia 2020 Election Interference Case Is 'Entirely Dead'

A Georgia appeals court on Thursday disqualified and removed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the case.
President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday falsely claimed that a Georgia appeals court’s decision to remove Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from his 2020 election interference case in the state signals that the lawsuit is “entirely dead.”
In an interview with Fox News Digital, the president-elect described the case centered on Trump and some of his allies’ efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential race in Georgia as politically motivated, adding that there is no way for the case to move forward despite the appeals court’s refusal to dismiss it.
“There is no way such corrupt people can lead a case, and then it gets taken over by somebody else,” Trump told the network. “It was a corrupt case, so how could it be taken over by someone else?”
“Therefore,” Trump argued, “the case is entirely dead.”
“Everybody should receive an apology, including those wonderful patriots who have been caught up in this for years,” he added.
