Steve Sadow, one of Donald Trump’s GA attorneys, filed a request to have DA Fani Willis removed from the case concerning the indictment against the former president and a group of his followers.

In response to DA Willis’s brief filed earlier this month, Sadow filed a response with the Georgia Court of Appeals, asking DA Fani Willis to be disqualified from prosecuting his defendant due to prejudice and incendiary racial rhetoric she claims on multiple occasions.

“President Trump’s legal team has filed a reply brief in the Georgia Court of Appeals persuasively rebutting the State’s arguments,” said Sadow. “Such misconduct violated the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct, therefore President Trump again calls for dismissal and her removal.”

Earlier this year, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled that DA Willis can remain on the indictment trial.

This ruling came after a drawn out trial concerning DA Willis and a former lover and former prosecutor, Nathan Wade and whether there was a grounds to disqualify them both due to accusations of conflict on interest.
