Trump Joins Efforts to Remove Fulton County DA from 2020 Election Case
Former President Donald Trump and his legal team are working together to have Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis dismissed from the 2020 election lawsuit against him and his co-defendants in Georgia. This decision is based on claims of wrongdoing between Willis and her main prosecutor.
Controversial Allegations
In a filing in Fulton County Superior Court, Trump’s attorneys support a petition to dismiss the case filed by one of Trump’s co-defendants.
In a prior petition, the defendant claimed that Willis had a romantic relationship with the case’s special prosecutor and received financial rewards when he took her on vacation.
Willis’ Public Statements
The filing also includes Willis’ public comments in which she justified her decision to choose Nathan Wade as the main prosecutor. This defense sparked worries regarding whether Willis violated Georgia prosecutorial standards.
Trump’s Lawyers Accuse Willis of Injecting Racial Bias
Trump’s lawyers accuse Willis of attempting to infuse racial bias into the case through her comments, thereby harming the public and prospective jurors.
They contend that her comments violated Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct, which might result in disbarment as the highest penalty.

Trump’s Legal Team Takes Action Against DA Willis
In reaction to these charges and comments, Trump’s legal team is pursuing legal action against District Attorney Willis, both for alleged misconduct and for introducing racial bias into the case.
They argue that her acts justify dismissal and disqualification. The district attorney’s office has not responded to the latest filing.
