[A Georgia judge]('https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/us-regions/southeast/georgia') presiding over the 2020 election interference case against former President Trump announced Wednesday that Trump and his co-defendants can appeal the order that denied the disqualification of embattled DA Fani Wills.
Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee on Wednesday issued a certificate of immediate review, allowing Trump and eight co-defendants to seek an [appeal of the order]('https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-attorney-reacts-fulton-county-judges-fani-willis-decision-prosecutorial-misconduct').
The defense now has 10 days to submit an application to the Georgia Court of Appeals, which will have 45 days to decide whether they will hear the case from March 15, when the order was issued. Under Georgia law, the Georgia Court of Appeals is not required to hear the case.
"However, the established record now highlights a significant appearance of impropriety that infects the current structure of the prosecution team – an appearance that must be removed through the State’s selection of one of two options," he wrote, adding that Willis and her whole office can choose to step aside, or Wade can withdraw from the case.
But he went on to say that his finding is "by no means an indication that the Court condones this tremendous lapse in judgment or the unprofessional manner of the District Attorney’s testimony during the evidentiary hearing."
Friends and I were very surprised that she was not removed from the case. He is a new judge and up for election in May 2024. Interesting, right?
Just have to see who on the appeals court reviews this and if that person has any blue alliances.
