Fani Willis Disqualification Hearing HEATS UP After ‘Credible’ Witness Exposes Her ‘Dubious’ Testimony Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis appears to be in jeopardy after a “credible” witness gave compelling testimony regarding her prosecutorial misconduct and abuse of funds. – Kyle Becker (click for more at Twitter)
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has initiated a cross appeal in response to a ruling by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee that dismissed several charges against former President Donald Trump and additional co-defendants. This legal action comes after Judge McAfee’s decision on March 13, which dismissed six counts from the indictment due to vague charges.
Leo Terrell: I don't see a future for Fani Willis being the prosecutor in this Trump Georgia case. I agree with Nathan Wade, the disgraced lawyer, when he was asked will this case go prior to the election, he said no. The case will not take place until 2025/2026 or never. pic.twitter.com/1Tk9LbKHN0

The charges that were dismissed involved accusations that Trump and his co-defendants had improperly urged public officials to breach their official duties to unlawfully sway the 2020 presidential election results. This cross appeal by the State was filed within the mandatory 15-day period following the defendants’ initial appeal notices, aiming to contest Judge McAfee’s decision to dismiss these counts.
The filing of this notice of cross appeal was undertaken by DA Willis, alongside Chief Senior Assistant District Attorney F. McDonald Wakeford and Deputy District Attorney John W. Wooten. This legal move counters the defendants’ previous appeal concerning an earlier ruling by Judge McAfee, which decided against disqualifying DA Willis from the case due to her past romantic involvement with former special prosecutor Nathan Wade.
Subsequent legal developments saw President Trump and other defendants being granted a certificate for immediate review on March 20, allowing them to appeal. Their request for an interlocutory appeal was approved by the Court of Appeals on May 8. The defendants started submitting their appeal notices on May 10, triggering the state’s opportunity to cross-appeal.
The key issue leading to the dismissal of the charges by Judge McAfee was the lack of specificity in detailing the exact nature of the oaths allegedly violated by the defendants. This ambiguity, according to the court, made it challenging for the defendants to prepare their defense, as the violations could refer to a variety of constitutional provisions.

The charges dismissed involved alleged solicitations directed at Georgia legislative members, including the House Speaker and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, to either certify alternate electors or manipulate the election results. Despite dismissing these specific charges, Judge McAfee maintained the other counts, including a RICO charge against Mr. Meadows, multiple counts against Trump, and various others against co-defendants like Giuliani, Smith, Cheeley, and Eastman.
Judge McAfee noted that the dismissal was necessary to uphold due process rights, stating that the charges were too vague since they did not specifically describe which parts of the oath were purportedly solicited for violation. He pointed out that the generalized references to the U.S. and Georgia Constitutions were overly broad and open to widely differing interpretations.
However, not all challenged charges were dismissed. The judge denied a special demurrer for a specific RICO count, recognizing a connection between the Georgia Senate and presidential elector appointments. Additionally, Judge McAfee allowed a six-month window for the prosecutors to seek a re-indictment for the dismissed counts, indicating that the court would likely grant a review of his decision due to the novel nature of the legal issues at play.
