Former President Donald Trump has requested a Georgia appeals court to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from prosecuting him in the case related to the state's 2020 election interference. This comes after a judge ruled that Willis can stay on the case following the resignation of a prosecutor. Trump, along with co-defendants Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows, argue that the appeals court should intervene to ensure fair trials. The appeal is based on allegations that Willis made disqualifying statements in a speech to a majority-Black congregation, implying racial bias in the case.
In their appeal, they said Ms. Willis made disqualifying statements in a speech to a majority-Black congregation in which she suggested the complaints about Mr. Wade were based on race. Both Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade are Black. https://t.co/0JRM51YGJh
Judge McAfee allowed Ms. Willis to remain on the case if Mr. Wade stepped down. He resigned, but defense attorneys aren’t letting the matter go. https://t.co/0JRM51YGJh
