Steve Sadow, attorney to former President Donald Trump, filed on March 18 a request for review of Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee’s decision to allow Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to remain on the high-profile Georgia election case.

Co-defendants Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Robert Cheeley, Michael Roman, David Shafer, Harrison Floyd, and Cathleen Latham, who had joined the initial motion for disqualification, joined the motion for a certificate of immediate review.
