Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been permanently removed from prosecuting President Donald Trump’s Georgia election case.
The Georgia Supreme Court declined to hear her appeal in a narrow 4-3 decision.
Background
The Georgia indictment was one of four criminal cases filed against Trump in 2023.

Two federal prosecutions were dropped after his election victory.
In New York, Trump was convicted on 34 counts in a hush money case but received no punishment.
The Georgia Court of Appeals ruled in December that Willis and her office were disqualified.
The decision cited an “appearance of impropriety” over her romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade.
