Former US president Donald Trump and other defendants in Georgia’s election interference case filed court papers on Monday seeking to appeal against a judge’s ruling not to disqualify Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis from their prosecution.

The resignation of the special prosecutor with whom Ms Willis had a romantic relationship is not enough to correct the appearance of impropriety the judge found, lawyers for Mr Trump, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and six other defendants said in a court filing.
