On December 19, 2024, the Georgia Court of Appeals disqualified Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from prosecuting the election interference case against Donald Trump, citing an “appearance of impropriety” due to her relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade. The court’s ruling does not dismiss the case but requires the appointment of a new prosecutor, potentially delaying the trial. This decision has sparked debate, with critics arguing it undermines the fairness of the process, while supporters emphasize the importance of maintaining impartiality in high-profile cases.
