Former President Trump has now officially appealed Judge Scott McAfee’s decision allowing District Attorney Fani Willis to stay on her case against him.

Trump appealed the case today:

THE HILL – Former President Trump urged a state appeals court to review a judge’s decision allowing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) to remain on Trump’s Georgia 2020 election racketeering case.

Judge Scott McAfee earlier this month ruled Willis’s once-romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade created an appearance of a conflict but allowed the district attorney to move ahead with her prosecution once Wade resigned.

On Friday, Trump and eight of his co-defendants filed an application with the Georgia Court of Appeals urging it to take up the case, insisting Willis has a personal stake in the case and must step aside. The move was expected after McAfee handed down a decision enabling the defense to attempt to appeal his ruling before trial.

“While the trial court factually found DA Willis’s out-of-court statements were improper and Defendants proved an apparent conflict of interest, the trial court erred as a matter of law by not requiring dismissal and DA Willis’ disqualification,” the application reads. “This legal error requires the Court’s immediate review.”

The court’s rules gives the district attorney’s office 10 days to respond to the application.

I hope the appeals court in Georgia does a better job with this than McAfee and kicks Willis to the curb. But given how the courts treat Trump, I’m not getting my hopes up.
