Summary
A Georgia appellate court disqualified Fulton County DA Fani Willis from prosecuting Donald Trump and co-defendants in the 2020 election interference case due to her relationship with a special prosecutor, Nathan Wade.
The court ruled Willis’ involvement compromised public confidence, despite Wade’s resignation.
While the case has not been dismissed, transferring it to another county prosecutor may prove difficult given its political and legal complexity.
The decision significantly undermines the case, following federal prosecutors already dropping related charges after Trump’s reelection.
For… hiring someone she knew. I’m still not seeing it, unless there’s evidence that she was dragging the case out, as you say.
What she did was give the right a shiny object to yell at. That’s it.
