Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis came out swinging in a bid for the Georgia Supreme Court to put her and her office back on the long-frustrated racketeering (RICO) and election interference case against President-elect Donald Trump and others.

In late December, Willis and her Atlanta-based team of lieutenants were disqualified by the Georgia Court of Appeals. Now, the state claims they were wrongly divested of authority to continue their efforts by an error-filled opinion that ignored both facts and law.

“The majority’s opinion below overreached the Court of Appeals’ authority in all directions and warrants review on certiorari,” the petition for writ of certiorari filed Thursday morning begins. “The State respectfully requests that this Honorable Court grant certiorari in this case and correct the errors found in the majority opinion.”
