Georgia Judge Allows Trump to Appeal Decision on Prosecutor in Election Subversion Case

Published: 20 March 2024 at 17:12

A Georgia judge approved an appeal by Donald Trump and his co-defendants regarding the decision to allow Fani Willis to continue prosecuting the 2020 election subversion case. This ruling by Judge Scott McAfee permits appeals on disqualifying Willis before trial without pausing the prosecution. The defense argues a conflict of interest due to a romantic relationship between Willis and her top deputy, Nathan Wade. The case proceeds as Willis stays on, contingent on Wade\'s resignation, with Trump hoping appellate review will lead to dismissal of the case and Willis\'s disqualification.
