Fani Willis, the Fulton County District Attorney, has been removed from the election interference case against President-elect Trump by Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, who is now urging the state Supreme Court to reject her appeal.

The Georgia court of appeals disqualified Willis from the Georgia election interference case against Trump and others, citing an "appearance of impropriety" due to the romantic relationship between Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade.

The state's lead attorney, who intends to govern in November, shared a statement on social media regarding the verdict against Willis on Monday.

The Fulton County DA was removed from the case against President-elect Trump by the Georgia Court of Appeals due to a conflict she created, according to Carr. The use of 'lawfare' in American politics must stop.

"Therefore, I urge the Georgia Supreme Court not to hear her appeal," Carr stated. "Our hope is that the DA will allocate taxpayer resources to the successful prosecution of violent criminals in Fulton County."

In February, Willis, who led the prosecution case against Trump, faced criticism after being accused of having an "inappropriate" relationship with special prosecutor Wade, whom she hired to aid in the case.

Wade was ultimately forced to step down from the prosecution team.

The court did not dismiss Trump's indictment entirely, but Willis and the assistant DAs working in her office no longer have the authority to proceed.

"We have determined that the trial court made a mistake by not disqualifying DA Willis and her office based on the findings in its order. Although the trial court attempted to remedy the issue by preventing an ongoing appearance of impropriety, it did not effectively address the impropriety that existed during times when DA Willis exercised her broad pretrial discretion in deciding who to prosecute and what charges to bring."
