AG Carr wants court to reject Fani Willis appeal
Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr has urged the State Supreme Court to reject Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' appeal in the election interference case against President-elect Donald Trump over her relationship with former Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade.
ATLANTA - Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr is urging the Supreme Court of Georgia not to take up an appeal by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in her attempt to prosecute President-elect Donald Trump and his allies in the Georgia election interference case.

Carr, who announced in November that he plans to run for governor, posted the statement to his X account, reading:
"The Georgia Court of Appeals has ruled that the Fulton County DA created her own conflict and rightfully removed her from the case against President-elect Trump.
"‘Lawfare’ has become far too common in American politics, and it must end.
"As such, I would encourage the Georgia Supreme Court to not take her appeal.
"It's our hope that the DA will now focus taxpayer resources on the successful prosecution of violent criminals in Fulton County."
The case against Trump and more than a dozen others had already been largely stalled for months while the Georgia Court of Appeals considered the pretrial appeal.
Earlier this month, the three-judge panel voted 2-1 to disqualify Willis from the case.
