Fani Willis Gets Fired From Trump Case For Good

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ bid to stay on her case against President Donald Trump and his co-defendants has come to an end.

The Georgia Supreme Court declined on Tuesday to consider her appeal after a lower court disqualified her from prosecuting the case.

Defense attorneys sought to disqualify Willis for hiring her romantic partner Nathan Wade to work on the case, alleging in January 2024 she improperly benefited from awarding him a lucrative contract when he took her on cruises and vacations. Willis falsely claimed she paid all special prosecutors the same hourly rate, despite awarding Wade a higher rate than the state’s top racketeering expert, the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation previously reported.

Willis’ office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“The Georgia Supreme Court has correctly denied review of the Georgia Court of Appeals decision disqualifying DA Fani Willis and her office as prosecutors in the Fulton County RICO case,” Trump’s lead Georgia defense counsel Steve Sadow said in a statement. “Willis’ misconduct during the investigation and prosecution of President Trump was egregious and she deserved nothing less than disqualification. This proper decision should bring an end to the wrongful political, lawfare persecutions of the President.”
