A hearing Friday will determine whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be removed from the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump. The hearing comes after a motion was filed by Trump's attorneys, who allege that Willis has a conflict of interest in the case. Willis has denied the allegations and has said that she will not recuse herself from the case.
The hearing is expected to focus on whether Willis has a conflict of interest because she is running for re-election and has made public statements about the case. Trump's attorneys have argued that these factors make it impossible for Willis to be impartial in the case. Willis's attorneys have argued that she has not made any public statements that would indicate that she is biased against Trump and that she is committed to following the evidence wherever it leads.
The judge overseeing the case will make a decision on whether to remove Willis from the case after hearing arguments from both sides. The decision is expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
The hearing is being closely watched by both sides of the political aisle. If Willis is removed from the case, it could delay the investigation into Trump's alleged election interference in Georgia. If Willis is allowed to remain on the case, it could increase the likelihood that Trump will be charged with a crime.
The hearing is scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m. ET on Friday, February 10, 2023.
