The Georgia Court of Appeals is considering motions to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis from the 2020 election interference case.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis speaks during her primary election night party in Atlanta on May 21. of a state court ruling allowing District Attorney Fani T. Willis to continue prosecuting the 2020 election interference case against the former president and several of his allies.

“The trial court’s careful and extensive evaluation of the resulting record, and its utter dismissal of the central evidence proffered by the Appellants, forecloses any possibility of reversal,” Wakeford wrote.in the lower court proceedings against Trump and the eight co-defendants who have sought to remove Willis from the case over claims she had an improper relationship with Nathan Wade, an outside lawyer she appointed to lead the case.

Prosecutors had not been expected to file any motions in the case until July — when they are set to respond to the formal appellate briefs from Trump and the others, due later this month. It was not immediately clear whether the court would take up the motion to dismiss or ask Trump and his co-defendants to formally respond.
