Fani Willis can stay on Trump election case — but with a significant catch

Raw Story  

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been given a choice by Judge Scott McAfee — she can remain on the case against Donald Trump, if she chooses to remove lead prosecutor Nathan Wade. Such a relationship isn't inherently a conflict of interest, but Trump's co-defendants have alleged that Willis and Wade were involved long before he was hired and that it proves the entire prosecution was a scheme to grift funds from the state to spend on gifts and romantic vacations. It would also add another complication to the timeline and make it more difficult to prosecute Trump's charges before the election, even if the incoming prosecutor wished to proceed. In this case, which is being charged as an organized crime scheme to stop the electoral certification of Georgia in 2020, multiple co-defendants have already taken guilty pleas, including Trump-aligned attorneys Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro, and Jenna Ellis, and bail bondsman Scott Hall.
