Fani Willis on Monday called for an appeals court to refuse to consider Donald Trump's appeal of his trial judge's decision not to disqualify her from the case.
‘s appeal of his trial judge’s decision not to disqualify her from the case, according to filing Monday afternoon.racketeering case alleging they conspired to overturn the 2020 election, argued in a court filing that there is no further review needed after Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee did not remove her from the case.
The district attorney argued the trial court already held an evidentiary hearing which “spanned several days” and ultimately failed to establish “any actual conflict of interest and declined to dismiss the indictment.” Last month, McAfee granted Trump’s legal team permission to bring the case to the Georgia Court of Appeals. The former president’s lawyers argued to the appeals court that the evidence brought up during the previous trial court hearing revealed Willis and Wade’s relationship did create an “appearance of impropriety in this case that cast a pall over these entire proceedings” and that the decision to allow Willis to continue “is plain legal error requiring reversal.
If the appeals court were to take up the appeal of the decision not to remove Willis, it could help Trump achieve his goal of attempting to delay trials in his four criminal cases before the 2024 election as he seeks another four years in the Oval Office.
