Fulton County prosecutors asked a Georgia appellate court to dismiss Donald Trump‘s appeal of a state court ruling that allowed District Attorney Fani Willis (D) to continue prosecuting the criminal racketeering case against the former president and his allies.

Assistant Fulton County District Attorney Donald Wakeford asked the Georgia Court of Appeals late on Wednesday to dismiss the appeal filed by Trump and eight other co-defendants, saying the trial court judge made “explicit factual findings” that defendants failed to provide adequate proof that Willis had a disqualifying conflict of interest.
