Georgia's top prosecutor urges state supreme court to snub Fani Willis
Raw StoryGeorgia's top prosecutor is publicly urging the state Supreme Court not to take up an appeal of a lower court's decision disqualifying Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the election racketeering case against President-elect Donald Trump and several of his associates. "The Georgia Court of Appeals has ruled that the Fulton County DA created her own conflict and rightfully removed her from the case against President-elect Trump," wrote Attorney General Chris Carr. Willis' disqualification from the case came out of a challenge by some of Trump's co-defendants regarding a romantic affair Willis was having with Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor she assigned to the case. A relationship between two attorneys in a prosecutor's office is not inherently a conflict of interest; however, the co-defendants argued that Willis and Wade ran up taxpayer expenses in the case to finance their pursuits.
