Trump Vows to Appeal Fani Willis Ruling

Former President Donald Trump and seven other defendants in Georgia's 2020 election interference case have filed a motion to appeal a judge's decision to allow Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to remain on the case.

This comes after Friday's ruling on whether to disqualify Willis from the case. Judge Scott McAfee said he did not find that Willis' relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade amounted to a conflict of interest that should disqualify her from the case, but did find that the relationship created an "appearance of impropriety."

On Monday, a team of defense attorneys filed paperwork with the court arguing the ruling did not go far enough. They claim that "case law requires dismissal of the case, or at the very least, the disqualification of the District Attorney and her entire office."

In their motion, the defense team asked Judge McAfee to grant them a "certificate of immediate review" -- a procedural permission slip to take their argument immediately to Georgia's appellate court.
