Judge grants Trump request to appeal decision to keep Fani Willis on Georgia case

The presiding judge in the Georgia election interference case against former president Donald Trump has granted him and his co-defendants the opportunity to appeal his ruling last week that allowed Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis (D) to remain on the case.

In a Wednesday ruling, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee said Trump and eight co-defendants can appeal the decision before the Georgia Court of Appeals, saying his ruling last week “is of such importance to the case that immediate review should be had.”
