A divided Georgia Court of Appeals disqualified the prosecutor in President-elect Donald Trump's state election racketeering case on Thursday, ruling Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis carried the appearance of impropriety in her decisions about who to prosecute and what charges to bring.
Willis had acknowledged a romantic relationship with a special counsel she hired onto the case, Nathan Wade. After fiery hearings earlier this year, Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee ruled Willis showed "a tremendous lapse in judgment" but that she could remain on the case.
But Trump and eight other defendants in the sprawling prosecution appealed that decision.
