ATLANTA — The Georgia Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision Tuesday on whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis can remain on the 2020 election interference case involving President Donald Trump, according to one of the co-defendants in the case.
David Shafer, former state senator and past Georgia GOP chairman, who is also one of the co-defendants in the case, posted on X late Monday night asking for prayers for Trump, himself, and the rest of the defendants over the decision.

Trump and the co-defendants filed a motion for Willis to be disqualified over what they say was an improper, romantic relationship she had with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom she had hired to lead the case.
Wade stepped down from the case, but Willis was allowed to stay on the case until the Georgia Court of Appeals’ ruling in 2024.
The court ruled that she and her office could not continue to prosecute the case because of an “appearance of impropriety.” Willis filed an appeal to that ruling in January 2025.
Trump and his co-defendants are accused of conspiring to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
