Summary

A Georgia appellate court disqualified Fulton County DA Fani Willis from prosecuting Donald Trump and co-defendants in the 2020 election interference case due to her relationship with a special prosecutor, Nathan Wade.

The court ruled Willis’ involvement compromised public confidence, despite Wade’s resignation.

While the case has not been dismissed, transferring it to another county prosecutor may prove difficult given its political and legal complexity.

The decision significantly undermines the case, following federal prosecutors already dropping related charges after Trump’s reelection.

    Are they trying to undermine our entire legal system? How does one person commit so many crimes and people just let him. Any regular person would be in prison for 40 years for half the stuff Trump has done.
