Judge in Trump Case Admonishes DA Fani Willis for ‘Unprofessional’ Behavior
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ combative testimony in court defending her romantic relationship with a prosecutor working alongside her—and her racially charged speech at a Black church in Atlanta—are not the victories she intended them to be.
Her actions have now created a rocky road ahead in her criminal case against former President Donald Trump for election interference, with a judge’s order on Friday warning of potential consequences to come as they approach a historic trial in Georgia.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee’s order will force the DA to make a hard choice: disqualify her entire office from the case or drop her ex-boyfriend, Nathan Wade, from the prosecution team.
