ATLANTA — The Georgia Court of Appeals Thursday disqualified Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from prosecuting the state’s case against former President Donald Trump for election interference in 2020.

In a 2-1 decision, the appellate court declared that Willis’ sexual relationship with Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor she hired to lead the case, constituted an appearance of impropriety that could not be overcome even though Wade removed himself from the prosecution team.
