"Trump Appeals Ruling Allowing Fani Willis to Stay on Georgia Case"

Lawyers for Donald Trump and his co-defendants in Georgia seek permission to appeal a ruling allowing Fani Willis to continue prosecuting the election interference case against them. The ruling followed public hearings into a romantic relationship between Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, and the lawyer she hired for the case. The defendants argue that the relationship created a conflict of interest, but the judge disagreed, finding an appearance of impropriety that could be addressed by the lawyer's withdrawal. They seek pretrial appellate review, citing lack of legal precedent and concerns about potential retrial if convictions occur before a decision is overturned.
