The Georgia Court of Appeals has agreed to review the decision that a trial court judge issued that allowed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to stay on the high-profile case against former President Donald Trump as long as she took a special prosecutor off the case to avoid the appearance of impropriety.

“Upon consideration of the Application for Interlocutory Appeal, it is ordered that it be hereby GRANTED,” the May 8 order reads.
