Fani T. Willis has petitioned the Georgia Supreme Court to reverse her disqualification from the Trump election interference case.
The disqualification stems from a recent ruling by Georgia's Court of Appeals, which overruled a trial judge's initial decision allowing her to continue.
Willis argues that no previous cases have disqualified a district attorney based solely on the appearance of impropriety without an actual conflict of interest.
The petition's likelihood of success is viewed as low due to the Republican majority in the state’s highest court.
If unsuccessful, the prosecution may cease, and the case will likely progress to a Republican-led state panel.
