Fani Willis, the district attorney of Fulton County, who prosecuted the case of election interference in Georgia against Donald Trump, was removed from the case by the state appellate court.

Trump told Fox News Digital that the election interference case «should not be allowed to proceed any further», - adding: «Everyone should receive an apology, including those wonderful patriots who were involved in this for many years».

Willis is the district attorney of Fulton County, Georgia. In 2021, she began investigating Trump for his alleged attempts to influence Georgia officials regarding the results of the 2020 presidential election. Trump lost to President Joe Biden. In 2020, Trump called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, asking him to help find more votes in his favor.
In August 2023, a grand jury in Atlanta indicted Trump and 18 others for allegedly orchestrating a scheme to change the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
Willis became the main character due to her relationship with Nathan. She faced controversy over a conflict of interest, although she hired him in late 2021 — before they started dating. The couple claimed to have been dating from mid-2022 to 2023.
In December 2024, the Georgia Court of Appeals panel ruled that Willis' disqualification was a «rare case», - but that it was «necessary and no other means would be sufficient to restore public trust in the integrity of these processes». The panel cited «the appearance of impropriety» in its decision, according to the Associated Press.
It is unclear whether the case of Trump’s interference in the Georgia elections will continue now that Willis has been removed from it
