Judge to Decide on Disqualification of Fulton County DA in Trump Election Interference Case
The fate of the case against former President Trump for 2020 election interference in Georgia hangs in the balance as Judge Scott McAfee deliberates on whether to disqualify DA Fani Willis over a conflict of interest claim.
- Judge Scott McAfee is considering whether to disqualify DA Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade from the Trump 2020 election interference case due to their past romantic relationship.
- The defense alleges the relationship between Willis and Wade, which they claim began before Wade's hiring, constitutes a conflict of interest, potentially benefiting Willis financially.
- Witnesses provided conflicting testimonies about the timeline of Willis and Wade's relationship, with some claiming it began as early as 2019.
- Willis and Wade defended their integrity, stating their relationship began after Wade's hiring and that they split travel expenses evenly.
- The decision could significantly impact the case's progression, with potential for further delays or the appointment of a new prosecuting office if Willis is disqualified.
