A Georgia appeals court has removed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the election interference case against Donald Trump and 18 others. The ruling, which stems from a pretrial appeal by Trump and his co-defendants, means another prosecutor will be appointed to take over the case. It is unclear whether the prosecution will continue, and the process could be delayed if Willis appeals to the state Supreme Court. The development raises questions about the future of the case, particularly given Trump's current status as president.
A state appeals court on Thursday removed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the Georgia election interference case againstThe case against Trump and more than a dozen others had already been largely stalled for months while the Georgia Court of Appeals considered the pretrial appeal.
But whether it is ultimately Willis or another prosecutor in charge, it seems unlikely that a prosecution against Trump could continue while he’s president for the next four years. But there are 14 other defendants who still face charges. A grand jury in Atlanta indicted Trump and 18 others in August 2023, accusing them of participating in a wide-ranging scheme to illegally try to overturn Trump’s narrow 2020 presidential election loss to Democrat Joe Biden in the state. Four of them have since pleaded guilty after reaching deals with prosecutors. Trump and the others have pleaded not guilty.
