Georgia AG urges state Supreme Court to reject DA Willis's appeal in Trump case | 30 Dec 2024 | Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr is urging the state Supreme Court to reject an appeal by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, after she was removed from the election interference case against President-elect Trump. Earlier this month, a Georgia court of appeals disqualified Willis from the Georgia election interference case against Trump and others, citing an "appearance of impropriety." The panel also cited the romantic relationship between Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade. On Monday, the state's lead attorney, who announced plans to run for governor in November, posted a statement on social media regarding the ruling against Willis. "The Georgia Court of Appeals has ruled that the Fulton County DA created her own conflict and rightfully removed her from the case against President-elect Trump," Carr wrote. "'Lawfare' has become far too common in American politics, and it must end.
