Judge Says D.A. Fani Willis Can Remain On Donald Trump’s Georgia Case But Special Prosecutor Must Step Down
Willis has been at the center of Trump and other defendant efforts to disqualify her.
Although McAfee concluded that there was not sufficient evidence to show that Willis and Wade’s relationship created a conflict of interest, he wrote that the “District Attorney’s prosecution is encumbered by an appearance of impropriety.” … Alternatively, [special prosecutor] Wade can withdraw, allowing the District Attorney, the Defendants, and the public to move forward without his presence or remuneration distracting from and potentially compromising the merits of this case.” The question of whether Willis could remain has sidelined the criminal case against Trump and other defendants, who face charges including racketeering in their efforts to reverse the state’s results in favor of Joe Biden.
