At issue is a romantic relationship she had w/ #NathanWade, a lawyer she hired to handle the prosecution of #Trump. Defense lawyers argued that the relationship amounted to an untenable conflict of interest, & that DA #FaniWillis & her entire office should be removed from the case.

An attorney for Donald Trump says he’s optimistic an appellate review will lead to the Georgia 2020 election interference case against him being dismissed and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis being disqualified
En una mordaz opinión de 23 páginas, un juez de Georgia permitió que la fiscal de distrito del condado de Fulton, Fani Willis, siguiera como fiscal en el caso de interferencia electoral de 2020 de alto riesgo contra Donald Trump y sus aliados.
I want to express my respect for Nathan Wade. Well done sir and thank you for your service!

Judge Scott #McAfee did two things:
(a) found for Fani #Willis
(b) excoriated Willis and #NathanWade.with no effect other than suggesting Wade be booted and inviting a motion for a gag order.
McAfee will be reelected. Republicans will be happy with the words. Democrats will be happy Willis is back on the case.
Wade will be okay. On his next cases, he'll make more than Fulton County was paying.
In a letter accepting #NathanWade’s resignation from the #Trump prosecution, #FaniWillis writes: “I compliment you for the professionalism & dignity you have shown over the last 865 days, as you have endured threats against you & your family, as well as unjustified attacks in the media & in court on your reputation as a lawyer.”
#NathanWade has resigned from his role leading the investigation of #Trump, & #FaniWillis, the #FultonCounty DA, has accepted it, acc/to letters from the 2 prosecutors just released.
#Wade’s resignation paves the way for #Willis to keep pursuing the case against Trump & his allies after today's ruling from Judge Scott #McAfee.

“ A special prosecutor who had a romantic relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis formally withdrew Friday from the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump after a judge ruled one of them had to leave the case for it to move forward.
Attorney Nathan Wade’s role in the prosecution had come under fire since an attorney representing one of Trump’s co-defendants alleged in early January that Wade and Willis were involved in an inappropriate relationship that resulted in Willis profiting improperly from the prosecution.”
A special prosecutor who had a romantic relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has withdrawn from the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump. A judge had ruled Wade had to leave or Willis couldn’t continue to pursue the charges. Wade’s role in the prosecution had come under fire since an attorney representing one of Trump’s co-defendants alleged in early January that Wade and Willis were involved in an inappropriate relationship that resulted in Willis profiting improperly from the prosecution. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee said Friday the allegations created an “appearance of impropriety” that infected the prosecution team.
