From Fox News: Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr is urging the state Supreme Court to reject an appeal by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, after she was removed from the election interference case against President-elect Trump.
Earlier this month, a Georgia court of appeals disqualified Willis from the Georgia election interference case against Trump and others, citing an “appearance of impropriety.” The panel also cited the romantic relationship between Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade.
On Monday, the state’s lead attorney, who announced plans to run for governor in November, posted a statement on social media regarding the ruling against Willis.
“The Georgia Court of Appeals has ruled that the Fulton County DA created her own conflict and rightfully removed her from the case against President-elect Trump,” Carr wrote.
“‘Lawfare’ has become far too common in American politics, and it must end. As such, I would encourage the Georgia Supreme Court to not take her appeal,” Carr continued. “It’s our hope that the DA will now focus taxpayer resources on the successful prosecution of violent criminals in Fulton County.”
The cards all came tumbling down for Willis after it was revealed she had an improper affair with Wade. Although the case against Trump has not been officially dismissed, Willis and her team now have no authority to proceed in the case.
Carr, a Republican, has been attorney general in Georgia since 2016. Last month, Carr announced he is also running for governor of Georgia for the 2026 election. Current governor Brian Kemp will be term-limited and unable to run for a third time.
