Georgia prosecutors urge court to reject Trump attempt to disqualify Fani Willis

Fulton county lawyers ask state appeals court to deny request by ex-president, who is charged with efforts to overturn 2020 election

Fulton county prosecutors asked the Georgia state court of appeals on Monday to reject Donald Trump's request to consider his claim that the district attorney should be disqualified over a relationship with her deputy, arguing that the matter was correctly settled by the lower court judge.

The present application merely reflects the applicants' dissatisfaction with the trial court's proper application of well-established law to the facts," prosecutors wrote in a 19-page filing.
