Fulton County DA Fani Willis Barred from Georgia's Election Subversion Case Against Trump
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An appeals court on Thursday disqualified Fulton County District
Attorney Fani Willis from overseeing Georgia's election interference
case against Trump and his 18 co-defendants. Her removal follows
revelations of a prior relationship with the lead prosecutor. The fate
of the sweeping criminal racketeering case against Trump is unclear, but
it's likely to be paused as Trump returns to office, or dismissed
altogether.
