Trump says his Georgia election interference case ‘should now be dead for good’ after Fani Willis loses appeal

Summary

The Georgia Supreme Court rejected Fani Willis' appeal in the Trump election interference case. Trump celebrated the ruling, calling prosecutors "CRIMINALS." The case's future remains uncertain, potentially reassigned to a new prosecutor.

Key Takeaways

1. Georgia’s highest court rejected an appeal from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in her efforts to return to her sprawling election interference case against Donald Trump after she was disqualified from the blockbuster criminal investigation last year.
2. Trump avoided a jail sentence after a jury in New York found him guilty on 34 counts of fraud last year, and now-former special counsel Jack Smith dropped two federal indictments against Trump for his attempts to overturn election results and withhold classified documents.
3. The Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, a state entity with a Republican director, will now decide whether to reassign the case, and to whom.
