While Donald Trump mounts an interlocutory appeal that he hopes will end with Fulton County DA Fani Willis’ (D) disqualification from prosecuting him, Willis is challenging the dismissal of several charges against the former president and his allies.
In a Thursday filing in Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee’s court, Willis filed her notice of “cross appeal” to overturn the judge’s March 13 ruling favorable to the defense — this, as the defense guns for the DA’s ouster.
“The state’s cross appeal corresponds to the Defendants’ interlocutory appeal of this Court’s ‘ORDER ON DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS AND DISQUALIFY THE FULTON COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE AND DISQUALIFY THE FULTON COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE’ ISUED ON MARCH 15, 2024,'” Willis’ filing noted.
On March 15, McAfee partially granted a defense motion to disqualify but allowed the prosecution to choose which prosecutor had to exit the case: DA Willis or Nathan Wade. The court’s order was based on a finding that a romance between Willis and Wade resulted in “a significant appearance of impropriety that infects the current structure of the prosecution team.” Though Wade resigned hours later, the Trump team argues that McAfee “erred as a matter of law by not requiring dismissal and DA Willis’ disqualification.”
As Trump makes this case in appellate court, Willis evidently intends to revive charges that McAfee dismissed on March 13.
That day, McAfee decided that counts 2, 5, 6, 23, 28, and 38, charging solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer to overturn the 2020 contest in the Peach State, had to be thrown out for failing to “allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission, i.e., the underlying felony solicited.”

Biatch guilty of election interference. Prison time for this creature!
I just had a giggle:
PUTTING the word “APPEALING” & FANI in the same sentence is an oxymoron.
Crazy affirmative action Wakanda Water Buffalo.
Nobody’s ever told this wannabe tyrant, “No”. She’s going to find out what it feels like, rather soon.
