Co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case Trump have filed notices of appeal to the Georgia Court of Appeals in their bid to have Fani Willis disqualified.
Co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case against former president Donald Trump have filed notices of appeal to the Georgia Court of Appeals in their bid to have Fulton County prosecutor Fani WIllis disqualified. Last week, the appeals court said that it would hear the case raised by Trump and several co-defendants that Willis should be disqualified from the case because she had an 'improper' affair with special counsel Nathan Wade, whom she hired.
Trump and several co-defendants alleged Willis and Wade were romantically involved prior to his hiring and that she financially benefited from the relationship. Both Willis and Wade denied those allegations. Judge McAfee allowed the defense to appeal his ruling, and the appeals court announced last week that they will hear the defense's case to still have Willis disqualified.
McAfee's ruling in March said that the defendants 'failed to meet their burden of proving that the District Attorney acquired an actual conflict of interest in this case through her personal relationship and recurring travels with her lead prosecutor.
When the defense in March submitted a joint motion for a Certificate of Immediate Review, McAfee said that his Order on the Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss and Disqualify the Fulton County District Attorney issued March 15 'is of such importance to the case that immediate review should be had' and allowed the defendants to ask the Georgia appeals court for an opportunity to appeal, which the court granted on Wednesday.
