A Georgia appeals court on Thursday disqualified Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D)’s office from the 2020 election interference case against President-elect Trump
The panel described Willis’s relationship with ex-special prosecutor Nathan Wade as a “significant appearance of impropriety.”
The court declined to outright dismiss Trump’s indictment, but disqualifying Willis’s office throws the future of the case further into doubt.
The Hill reports:
“After carefully considering the trial court’s findings in its order, we conclude that it erred by failing to disqualify DA Willis and her office,” the court wrote in its ruling.
“The remedy crafted by the trial court to prevent an ongoing appearance of impropriety did nothing to address the appearance of impropriety that existed at times when DA Willis was exercising her broad pretrial discretion about who to prosecute and what charges to bring,” it continued.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Trump said the “whole case has been a disgrace to justice.”
“It was started by the Biden DOJ as an attack on his political opponent, Donald Trump,” he said, “They used anyone and anybody, and she has been disqualified, and her boyfriend has been disqualified, and they stole funds and went on trips.”
Trump said the case “should not be allowed to go any further.”
“There is no way such corrupt people can lead a case, and then it gets taken over by somebody else,” Trump told Fox News Digital. “It was a corrupt case, so how could it be taken over by someone else?”
