Fulton County Attorney General Fani Willis and her entire office were disqualified from their cases against President-Elect Donald Trump and his allies. The disqualification came from the Georgia Court of Appeals, who ruled Willis had disqualified herself in how she conducted herself during the trial and even outside the trial, including on the campaign trail leading up to her election as the Fulton County DA in the first place.
The ruling means a board of Georgia Prosecutors will have to select a prosecutor to replace her, but most experts believe her cases are dead in the water as the basis for the cases in the first place was always on “novel” approaches that many would argue are flat-out unconstitutional.

Excerpt:
In a major blow to the prosecution against Donald Trump in Georgia, Fulton County DA Fani Willis has been officially disqualified from the case. An appeals court ruled on Thursday morning that her conflicts of interest were simply too great for her to remain involved.
That comes after a years-long fight involving Willis’ affair with Nathan Wade, a lawyer she had hired to be part of the prosecutorial team. Questions about how much taxpayer money he was paid and the impropriety of their relationship infected the process and led to the Trump team seeking Willis’ disqualification.
