From the Washington Examiner:
Trump’s legal team is furthering its efforts to oust Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from Trump’s Georgia election interference case. In a Monday court filing, the former president’s attorneys argued that Willis’s conduct surrounding the trial, particularly her relationship with prosecutor Nathan Wade, are causes for removal.The appeal comes after a lower court ruled Willis could stay on the case if Wade stepped down, which he did. However, Trump’s attorneys weren’t satisfied. They argued Willis has shown a conflict of interest with her actions and comments in interviews and on social media.
“Once the trial court found that a ‘significant appearance of impropriety infect[ed] the current structure of the prosecution team,’ the remedy was to disqualify each affected prosecutor and the entire DA’s office,” the attorneys wrote.
A Trump attorney said in a statement that the defense team is “optimistic” that the Georgia Court of Appeals will remove Willis from the case. Trump’s legal defense and success on appeal pretty much solidifies that Willis’ sweeping racketeering case against the 45th president will not go to trial before the 2024 election in November.
Buying Time for the Campaign
The appeals process may not be an ideal final resolution to the case, but at this point, Trump needs all the legal victories he can get so he can continue campaigning. Democrats are frantically desperate to keep Trump tied up in court and not rallying the public to vote for him. This relentless pursuit of Trump reeks of political desperation and a blatant misuse of the justice system to thwart a political opponent.
It’s clear that Trump isn’t just fighting for his freedom but for the integrity of the American political system. The left’s lawfare tactics are unprecedented, and it’s crucial that justice is not weaponized against any individual, let alone a former president. We, as Americans, must remain vigilant and demand fairness in our legal proceedings.
