| Trump attorneys file to disqualify Fani Willis from election fraud case despite prosecutor stepping aside |
| 2024-03-19 |
| [NY Post] Former President Donald Trump’s defense team filed a motion on Monday seeking to dismiss and disqualify embattled Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis from the Georgia election fraud case. Steve Sadow, Trump’s lead attorney in the case, asked the court to immediately remove Willis. The filing comes days after the judge overseeing the case ruled she could stay on as long as special prosecutor Nathan Wade stepped aside, following the revelation of their romantic relationship. Sadow claims in his motion that action does not go far enough and is asking to appeal the decision. “President Trump and seven defendants have jointly filed a motion requesting the Court to grant a certificate of immediate review of its order denying dismissal of the case and disqualification of Fulton County DA Willis,” Sadow said in a statement. Alongisde Trump, seven of the 14 remaining defendants joined the motion: Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Robert Cheeley, Michael Roman, David Shafer, Harrison Floyd and Cathleen Latham. “The motion further notes that the Court found Georgia case law lacks controlling precedent for the standard for disqualification of a prosecuting attorney for forensic misconduct. For these reasons among others, the Court’s Order is ripe for pretrial appellate review,” Sadow concluded. The attorneys’ filing came after Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee gave Wade and Willis their ultimatum on Friday in a much anticipated ruling over the racketeering case. Wade stepped down hours later, allowing Willis to stay on. |
