Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has asked the Georgia Court of Appeals to reinstate six criminal charges against former President Donald Trump, as well as ones levied against his co-defendants, in the state’s sweeping election interference case.
The charges were previously dismissed by Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, who ruled in March that the defendants had not been provided with enough detail to mount a proper defense. However, McAfee left the district attorney the ability to try to revive the charges.
Trump attorney Steve Sadow called Willis’s bid to revive the charges “simply incorrect on the law.”
“The trial court’s dismissal order properly decided that the State failed to sufficiently plead the allegations in the dismissed counts under Georgia law,” Sadow added.
