Former President Trump's legal team asks for Fani Willis' disqualification in Georgia Court of Appeals, citing alleged misconduct and prejudicial racial rhetoric.

Former President Donald Trump's lawyers have filed a reply brief in the Georgia Court of Appeals, requesting the disqualification of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. The legal team accuses Willis of misconduct, alleging that her "false, incendiary racial rhetoric" in a church speech could have prejudiced potential jurors in the case against Trump. They argue that this behavior violated the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct and that the case should be dismissed and Willis removed from her position. The Georgia Court of Appeals has scheduled a December 5 hearing to consider Trump's appeal to disqualify Willis.
