Trump Co-Defendants File Notices of Appeal to Remove Fani Willis

In March, a judge ruled that the district attorney could remain on the election case, saying there wasn’t enough evidence that she had a conflict of interest.

Two co-defendants in the Trump case in Georgia filed notices indicating that they will appeal a judge’s decision and will seek to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

Trump co-defendant Michael Roman filed a notice with the Georgia Court of Appeals this past week to challenge Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee’s ruling in March that allowed Ms. Willis to remain on the case.
