The Republican presidential candidate and eight of his 14 co-defendants charged in the Georgia case have urged the appeals court to overturn a state judge’s March ruling that allowed Ms Willis to continue supervising the prosecution.

Mr Trump and the eight co-defendants moved to disqualify Ms Willis after revealing that she had had a romance with Nathan Wade, an outside lawyer she hired to help lead the investigation. Mr Wade booked several vacations with Ms Willis while he was being paid by her office, an arrangement the defence argued posed a conflict of interest.

Ms Willis and Mr Wade have acknowledged having a relationship, but said it began after Mr Wade was hired to work on the case and ended before charges were filed. Ms Willis’s office has denied allegations of misconduct and said the relationship had no impact on the case.
