Former President Donald Trump on Thursday accused Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis of stoking “racial animus” during a recent speech at a historically Black church on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

The six-page motion obtained by Law&Crime was filed in Fulton County Superior Court. The filing is stylized as a motion to dismiss the Georgia election interference and racketeering (RICO) case against him. Trump also aims to disqualify the district attorney, her entire office, and the special prosecutors hired to oversee the case.

Attorneys for the 45th president technically filed their request as a supplement to a recent motion filed by co-defendant Michael Roman, a staff member for Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign, who argued earlier this month that Willis and lead prosecutor Nathan Wade should be tossed due to a “conflict of interest” because of an alleged affair.

Trump’s motion largely eschews rehashing the details of Roman’s earlier motion in favor of passing references to the “alleged affair” — in service of an argument that Willis used “racially charged” language during a lengthy speech at Big Bethel A.M.E. Church in Atlanta.
