Fani Willis is fighting back after a Georgia Appeals court booted her from the Trump RICO case.
As reported earlier, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her entire office were disqualified from prosecuting Trump in their lawfare RICO case.
The appeals court did not throw out the charges, however, Fani Willis and her office have “no authority to proceed.”
The Georgia Appeals Court disqualified Fani Willis because of an appearance of impropriety.
Fani Willis asked the Georgia Supreme Court to intervene later Thursday after she got tossed from the case.
WSB-TV reported:
Channel 2 investigative reporter Mark Winne spoke exclusively with Willis on Thursday following the ruling as well as the defense lawyer who played a key role in removing Willis from the case.
“You are the defense attorney that raised in court the issue of DA Fani Willis’s relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade?” Winne asked attorney Ashleigh Merchant.
“Yes, I am. And we were very surprised but happy to get the opinion today,” Merchant said. “I knew that once we had our day in court, we would be meritorious.”
Winne also spoke to Willis by phone.
“We’re asking the (Georgia) Supreme Court to review the court of appeals decision,” Willis said.
She said hopefully the Supreme Court will take this decision up for review and said she does not agree with the decision.
