Judge Considers Disqualifying DA in Trump Election Fraud Case

The decision could delay the trial, amid allegations of a compromising relationship between the DA and the special prosecutor.

A Georgia judge is deliberating on whether to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in the Trump election fraud case, potentially delaying the trial.
Cellphone records suggest Nathan Wade visited Fani Willis's residence more frequently than they admitted, raising questions about their relationship's start date.
The defense argues that Willis's affair with Wade, who she appointed as special prosecutor, could compromise the case's integrity.
Legal experts believe Willis is unlikely to be disqualified, but the controversy could delay the trial past the November 2024 presidential election.
If disqualified, the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia would decide the case's future, potentially speeding up the process due to its significance.
