Georgia AG Requests State Supreme Court Not to Reinstate DA Fani Willis in Trump’s Election Interference Case
Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr has urged the state Supreme Court to reject the Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ appeal to be reinstated in the ongoing President-elect Trump’s election interference case.
Willis was disqualified from the case due to an “appearance of impropriety” arising from her romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom she hired.
Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee ordered either Willis or Wade to remove themselves from the case to protect its integrity. Georgia’s appeals court voted 2-1 to remove Willis under special circumstances that would ordinarily not result in the removal of a district attorney.
With two other Trump prosecutions thrown out, CNN assessed that Willis’ removal from the case renders it “dead in the water.”
“…this is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated, and no other remedy will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings,” the Georgia Appeals Court ruled.
Willis immediately requested the Georgia Supreme Court to review her removal from the ongoing case.
Wade also resigned after news of the office romance became public. However, he claims that the affair did not compromise the case.
“Workplace romances are as American as apple pie,” Wade said on Good Morning America. “It happens to everyone. But it happened to the two of us.”
Vowing to continue protecting “the integrity of this prosecution,” Wade added that the District Attorney would rather that he does not discuss the affair.
“As a matter of fact, I am certain that they would rather me not be having this exchange with you.”
Meanwhile, Georgia’s AG Carr lamented the “too common” lawfare and blamed the Fulton County prosecutor for her removal from the ongoing alleged Trump election interference case.
“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,” Carr wrote. “‘Lawfare’ has become far too common in American politics, and it must end.”
“As such, I would encourage the Georgia Supreme Court to not take her appeal,” Carr added. “It’s our hope that the DA will now focus taxpayer resources on the successful prosecution of violent criminals in Fulton County.”
While Trump’s Georgia election interference case remains open, the District Attorney and her assistants have been declared as having “no authority to proceed.”
The court ruled that the decision to allow Willis and her office to proceed with the prosecution was wrong, and the trial court’s remedy to her impropriety was inadequate.
“After carefully considering the trial court’s findings in its order, we conclude that it erred by failing to disqualify DA Willis and her office,” the court stated.
“The remedy crafted by the trial court to prevent an ongoing appearance of impropriety did nothing to address the appearance of impropriety that existed at times when DA Willis was exercising her broad pretrial discretion about who to prosecute and what charges to bring.”
Willis responded to AG Carr’s request to dismiss her reinstatement by accusing him of prioritizing his gubernatorial ambitions at the expense of the law.
