The court's ruling indicates that disqualification is mandated due to the relationship between District Attorney Fani Willis and her former deputy, highlighting the need to restore public confidence in the integrity of the proceedings.
In a 2-1 ruling, the Georgia appeals court stated, 'While we recognize that an appearance of impropriety generally is not enough to support disqualification, this is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated.'
The decision is a setback for the case regarding Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, where a new prosecutor will take over the proceedings.
This legal challenge, which stems from Trump's attempt to influence the vote count in Georgia, faces uncertainty as he prepares for a potential return to the White House.
