In a new twist to the ongoing legal battle over Georgia’s 2020 election results, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr is urging the state’s top court to reject an appeal by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. This all stems from a recent decision by the Georgia Court of Appeals to remove Willis from President-elect Donald Trump’s election subversion case.
So, what happened? The Court of Appeals ruled that Willis should be disqualified from handling the case due to her personal ties with a former prosecutor, Nathan Wade. Willis quickly filed papers to appeal, but Carr—who’s also gearing up for Georgia’s 2026 governor race—believes the court made the right call. He’s pushing for the Georgia Supreme Court to let the decision stand.
Carr took to social media, stating that “lawfare” (political warfare using legal tactics) has gotten out of hand in the U.S., and it’s time to end it. He also hopes that Willis will now focus on prosecuting violent criminals in Fulton County, rather than getting caught up in political drama.
Willis didn’t hold back, calling out Carr’s political ambitions and suggesting he should focus on his campaign instead of his duties as Attorney General.
The situation is heating up, and with Trump’s legal challenges potentially off the table until 2029, we’ll have to wait and see how it all unfolds. Stay tuned—this legal showdown isn’t over yet!
