Donald Trump's legal team on Friday sought to overturn a Fulton county, Georgia, judge's decision allowing Fani Willis to continue as prosecutor of that state's election interference case against the former president.

[T]he indictment should have been dismissed and, at a minimum, [District Attorney] Willis and her office should have been disqualified from prosecuting the case," Trump's attorney Steve Sadow said, in part, in the appeal filed on Friday to an appellate court in Georgia.
