Just in, a Fulton County judge has made a ruling granting District Attorney Fani Willis the ability to continue prosecuting the 2020 election interference case, as long as special prosecutor Nathan Wade is removed. This decision comes after former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants alleged a possible conflict of interest between Willis and Wade, as they claimed that there was a relationship between the two.
Trump and 18 others were indicted last year on state charges related to their alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. It’s important to note that this is just one of the four criminal cases that Trump is facing as he runs for president again.
During this legal battle, District Attorney Willis made comments at an Atlanta-area church back in January that were deemed “legally improper” by Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee. Willis had defended attacks on her lead prosecutor, Nathan Wade, suggesting that he was being targeted because of his race. However, Willis clarified that her comments were not in reference to the criticism from the defendants in her election subversion case.
Despite these comments being deemed improper, Judge McAfee stated that they did not warrant the dismissal of the case. He argued that the comments were far enough removed from a potential jury trial and would not permanently taint the jury pool. However, the judge also warned about the potential for a future gag order against Willis, emphasizing that her public comments could create complications for the case.

While the judge deemed Willis’ previous comments as legally improper, he did not believe they warranted the dismissal of the case. However, he did caution Willis about the potential consequences of making such comments in the future.
