ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia’s highest court has declined to consider Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ appeal of her removal from the Georgia election interference case against Donald Trump and others. The Georgia Court of Appeals had ruled that Willis and her office could not continue to prosecute the case because of an “appearance of impropriety” created by a romantic relationship she had with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom she had hired to lead the case. Willis appealed to the Georgia Supreme Court, which on Tuesday declined to take up the case. That means it will be up to the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia to find another prosecutor to take over the case.
