The Georgia Supreme Court declined Tuesday to review Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ appeal of her removal from the prosecution of President Donald Trump.
The Georgia prosecution of the President of the United States on allegations of 2020 election interference was stalled as parties worked to either remove Willis from prosecuting the case or to keep her on.
A lower court ruling, in the wake of allegations of impropriety between Willis and former special prosecutor Nathan Wade, led to a move to disqualify Willis from prosecuting the case herself.
Willis asked the Georgia Supreme Court to review that order on an appeal.
On Tuesday, that request was declined, with the Georgia Supreme Court ruling not to review the decision, Willis’ petition for certiorari. The case against the president has yet to be dismissed in a Fulton County court.
In response to the ruling, Willis provided the following statement to Channel 2 Action News:
“While I disagree with the decision of the Georgia Court of Appeals and the Georgia Supreme Court’s divided decision not to review it, I respect the legal process and the courts. Accordingly, my office will make the case file and evidence available to the Prosecuting Attorneys Council for use in the ongoing litigation. I hope that whoever is assigned to handle the case will have the courage to do what the evidence and the law demand.”
