Judge Grants Trump’s Request to Appeal Fani Willis Disqualification Decision
A judge has granted former President Donald Trump’s request for immediate appeal of a decision denying disqualification of Fulton County DA Fani Willis.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has granted former President Donald Trump’s request for a certificate of immediate review, allowing the former president and seven co-defendants to appeal the judge’s order denying the disqualification of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
The certificate of immediate review, filed on March 20 at the Superior Court of Fulton County, State of Georgia, allows President Trump and seven co-defendants to seek an appeal from the Georgia Court of Appeals, which has the discretion to accept or decline to hear the case.
“Judge McAfee has issued a certificate of immediate review allowing us to take our motion to disqualify Fani Willis directly to the Georgia Court of Appeals,” David Shafer, former chairman of the Georgia Republican Party and one of the seven co-defendants, said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, commenting on the judge’s decision.
Besides Mr. Shafer, the other co-defendants who can appeal the judge’s disqualification ruling are Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Robert Cheeley, Michael Roman, Harrison Floyd, and Cathleen Latham.
All of them had joined the initial motion to disqualify Ms. Willis and later joined the motion for a certificate of immediate review.
The request for immediate review, filed on March 18 by Steve Sadow, attorney to President Trump, stems from Judge McAfee’s decision to allow Ms. Willis to remain on the high-profile case, in which the former president is accused of e******n i**********e.
I hope she ends up working her fanny off at McDonalds or Starbucks to make a living
