Atlanta Judge Rules D.A. Can Stay on Trump Case if ExBoyfriend Steps Down
"Here’s what to know about the decision.
An Atlanta judge on Friday ruled that Fani T. Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, could continue leading the prosecution of former President Donald J. Trump and his allies in Georgia, but only if her former romantic partner, Nathan J. Wade, withdraws from the case.
The ruling by Judge Scott McAfee of Fulton Superior Court cut a middle path between removing Ms. Willis for a conflict of interest, which defense lawyers had sought, and her full vindication. The judge sharply criticized her for dating Mr. Wade, whom she hired as a special prosecutor on the case, calling it a “tremendous lapse in judgment.”
Ms. Willis and her office did not immediately respond to the judge’s ruling. With delays mounting, the case is now unlikely to come to trial before the 2024 presidential election, when Mr. Trump is almost certain to be the Republican nominee."
