Why was Fanny Willis disqualified from the case?
Willis made headlines for her relationship with Nathan. He faced controversy over conflict of interest, even though he hired her in late 2021, before they started dating. The pair claimed they dated from mid-2022 to 2023.
In December 2024, a Georgia Court of Appeals panel ruled that Willis’ disqualification was a “rare case” but that it was “unnecessary and no other measure will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings.” According to the Associated Press, the panel cited “an appearance of impropriety” in its decision.
Does this mean the matter is closed?
It’s still unclear whether Trump’s Georgia election interference case will move forward now that Willis has been removed from it.
