Georgia Supreme Court declines to hear Fani Willis' appeal of her removal from Trump election case
Atlanta — Georgia’s highest court has declined to consider Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ appeal of her removal from the Georgia election interference case against President Donald Trump and others.
Citing an “appearance of impropriety” created by a romantic relationship Willis had with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom she had hired to lead the case, the Georgia Court of Appeals in December ruled that Willis and her office could not continue to prosecute the case.
Trump hailed the court's ruling as “a great decision” and called Willis' prosecution of him and others for their attempts to overturn Trump's 2020 election loss in Georgia “a rigged case to start off with.”
“What Fani Willis did to innocent people, patriots that love our country, what she did to them by indicting them and destroying them, she should be put in jail,” Trump told reporters.
