Fulton DA Fani Willis to Stay on Trump Election Fraud Case Despite Legal Challenges

Despite attempts to disqualify her, Fulton County DA Fani Willis remains in charge of the Donald Trump election fraud case, facing criticism and legal hurdles.

Metro Atlanta defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant accused Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis of having an improper relationship with her top prosecutor, sidelining the case against Donald Trump for over two months.
Fulton Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled Willis could continue on the case, prompting the resignation of special prosecutor Nathan Wade amid concerns over Willis' judgment.
Merchant, representing a Trump co-defendant, challenges Willis' ability to bring the case to trial before the November election, citing an ongoing appeal likely to delay proceedings.
Willis asserts readiness to proceed with the trial, dismissing concerns over delays despite the legal wrangling and criticism regarding her conduct and relationship with Wade.
The legal battle over Willis' disqualification and the future of the Trump election fraud case continues, with potential implications for the trial's timing ahead of the election.
