As our James Lynch reports, a state appeals court in Georgia has disqualified Fulton County’s elected Democratic district attorney Fani Willis and her office from the 2020 election-interference prosecution she brought against Donald Trump and 18 other defendants.

Though it will be appealed, the ruling by the divided three-judge panel (all Republican appointees) likely dooms the case.
