President Trump’s efforts, along with his co-defendants, to win a civil lawsuit against Fani Willis’ Prosecutor’s Office, won’t be affected by Fani Willis herself. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled Fani Willis was “wholly disqualified” from being involved in this case at all, and therefore, she will not be allowed to participate in any capacity in the proceedings of the civil trial.

A judge in Fulton County, Georgia, ruled that District Attorney Fani Willis cannot participate in the legal fight over whether President Donald Trump and his co-defendants should be reimbursed millions of dollars in attorney fees following the collapse of her Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act case against them.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee issued the order on Monday.
The judge stated that Willis, who had already been disqualified from the prosecution, could not insert herself into the dispute over the legal fees.
The reimbursement claims total about $16.8 million, including more than $6.2 million sought by President Trump.
