Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has filed a notice of cross appeal against a decision by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee to dismiss several charges against former President Donald Trump and other codefendants.

This appeal follows Judge McAfee’s ruling on March 13, which quashed six counts of the indictment against President Trump and others due to a lack of specificity in the charges.
