Summary
A Georgia appellate court disqualified Fulton County DA Fani Willis from prosecuting Donald Trump and co-defendants in the 2020 election interference case due to her relationship with a special prosecutor, Nathan Wade.
The court ruled Willis’ involvement compromised public confidence, despite Wade’s resignation.
While the case has not been dismissed, transferring it to another county prosecutor may prove difficult given its political and legal complexity.
The decision significantly undermines the case, following federal prosecutors already dropping related charges after Trump’s reelection.
As much as I think the esteemed Judge Cannon should not hold her position, can an appeals court actually disqualify a judge?
I was under the impression that takes an act of congress. Which means without a majority there, you’ll never get it.
