Lawyers for former President Donald Trump have requested oral arguments in the Georgia Court of Appeals in their disqualification effort against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her office.

In a filing made on June 10, Trump attorney Steve Sadow wrote that oral arguments in the case “will aid the decisional process of this appeal” because of the “novel issue of first impression concerning the legal standard for ‘forensic misconduct’ to disqualify an elected District Attorney and her office.”
