Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has ruled that District Attorney Fani Willis can remain on the case prosecuting former President Donald Trump provided she removes her erstwhile paramour, Mr. Nathan Wade, from the team.
Ms. Willis is left with the decision to either remove herself and her office from the prosecution or remove Mr. Wade. The ruling states:
“The Court therefore concludes that the prosecution of this case cannot proceed until the State selects one of two options. The District Attorney may choose to step aside, along with the whole of her office, and refer the prosecution to the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council for reassignment…
“Alternatively, SADA Wade can withdraw, allowing the District Attorney, the Defendants, and the public to move forward without his presence or remuneration distracting from and potentially compromising the merits of this case.”
Ms. Willis has not yet responded or indicated which option she will choose.
