"Georgia Prosecutor Fani Willis Defends Against Trump's Disqualification Bid"

Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis filed a motion to block an appeal of a ruling allowing her to continue leading the state election interference case against former President Donald J. Trump. The case took a detour as Trump and his co-defendants sought to disqualify Willis due to her romantic relationship with a lawyer involved in the prosecution, but a judge ruled that no actual conflict of interest existed. Willis defended the judge's decision and argued that there was no trial court error, while Trump and his co-defendants have asked for permission to seek an appeal of a recent ruling that declined to throw out the case on First Amendment grounds.
