A state appeals court in Georgia has removed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the election interference case against former President Donald Trump and others, but did not dismiss the indictment. The decision leaves the future of the prosecution uncertain. The Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia will now need to find another prosecutor to take over the case.
ATLANTA — A state appeals court on Thursday removed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the Georgia election interference case against Donald Trump and others but did not dismiss the indictment, leaving the future of the prosecution uncertain.
The new ruling means it will be up to the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia to find another prosecutor to take over the case and to decide whether to continue to pursue it, though that could be delayed if Willis decides to appeal to the state Supreme Court. Two federal criminal cases against Trump have already been abandoned after the Republican won the presidency in November. Meanwhile, a judge in New York has refused throw out his hush money conviction from earlier this year, though the future of that case is uncertain.
