"Potential Disqualification of Fani Willis in Trump Case Raises Georgia Legal Stakes"

A judge in Atlanta will decide whether Fulton County district attorney Fani T. Willis should be disqualified from leading the prosecution of former President Donald J. Trump on election interference charges due to a conflict of interest. If disqualified, her entire office would be affected, and the case could be reassigned to another Georgia prosecutor who would have the authority to continue, modify, or drop the case altogether. The decision on who would take up the case would fall to the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, with the possibility of appointing a prosecutor or finding a lawyer in private practice to replace Ms. Willis.
