Former president and convicted felon Donald Trump on Monday fired the opening salvo in the appeals court case aimed at dismissing his racketeering (RICO) and election subversion charges in Georgia.

In a 64-page opening brief filed with the Georgia Court of Appeals, the defense says it would settle for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her office being disqualified from overseeing the case.

“Make no mistake: Willis, by persistently untethering herself from the legal, ethical, and professional constraints of her powerful position, has decimated the integrity of these proceedings,” the filing reads. “Sadly, the circumstances that require her disqualification are entirely self-inflicted wounds that were within her power to avoid. DA Willis disqualified herself.”
