Breaking News: Georgia Appeals Court Disqualifies DA Fani Willis from Trump Election Interference Case
In a stunning turn of events, the Georgia Court of Appeals has removed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the high-profile criminal election interference prosecution of President-elect Donald Trump and other defendants. The court’s decision comes after Trump’s attorneys argued that Willis should be disqualified due to her romantic relationship with the top prosecutor she had chosen to work on the case.
Indictment Against Defendants Stands

Implications of the Ruling
The appeals court’s decision raises significant questions about the future of the prosecution. With Willis disqualified, it remains unclear who will take over the case and how it will proceed. The ruling also highlights the complexities and challenges of navigating high-stakes political cases.
