The former Georgia GOP chair charged alongside former President Donald Trump in a sprawling racketeering case says that the Fulton County district attorney should be disqualified because of her personal relationship with one of the prosecutors and her public response to allegations of misconduct.

David Shafer was charged in August alongside Trump and more than a dozen other co-defendants with racketeering and election interference. According to the indictment, Shafer faces eight counts for RICO, impersonating a public officer, forgery in the first degree (two counts), false statements and writings (three counts), and criminal attempt to commit filing false documents. The indictment alleged that Shafer and co-defendants Shawn Still, a businessman and GOP politician, and Cathleen Latham, the former chair of the Coffee County Republican Party, impersonated a public officer by falsely casting themselves as legitimate presidential electors in writing, together forging a document purporting to be a “CERTIFICATE OF THE VOTES OF THE 2020 ELECTORS FROM GEORGIA.”

In a motion filed Monday, Shafer says that Willis, who recently acknowledged having a romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who was hired by Willis’ office on a contract basis, should be removed from the case — along with her entire office. Wade’s estranged wife reportedly tried to subpoena Willis in connection with divorce proceedings.

The motion, which spans 229 pages including exhibits, says that Willis “has engaged in a pattern of prosecutorial, forensic misconduct which compels her disqualification from the prosecution of this case as well as the disqualification of her entire Office and prosecution staff.”

“All of the causes for the disqualification are self-inflicted blows,” the motion adds.
