Overview

• 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.
