Scott McAfee rules Willis can continue prosecuting Trump and allies for attempt to overturn 2020 election result but former romantic partner, Nathan Wade, must go
Fani Willis to continue as top prosecutor in Trump Georgia case
Donald Trump’s lawyer Steve Sadow has responded to the ruling by Fulton county superior court judge Scott McAfee that Fani Willis can continue to head the Georgia election case.
A statement from Sadow, shared by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, reads:
While respecting the Court’s decision, we believe that the Court did not afford appropriate significance to the prosecutorial misconduct of Willis and Wade, including the financial benefits, testifying untruthfully about when their personal relationship began, as well as Willis’ extrajudicial MLK ‘church speech,’ where she played the race card and falsely accused the defendants and their counsel of racism. We will use all legal options available as we continue to fight to end this case, which should never have been brought in the first place.
She further allowed the regular and loose exchange of money between them without any exact or verifiable measure of reconciliation. This lack of a confirmed financial split creates the possibility and appearance that the District Attorney benefited – albeit non-materially – from a contract whose award lay solely within her purview and policing.
This finding is by no means an indication that the Court condones this tremendous lapse in judgment or the unprofessional manner of the District Attorney’s testimony during the evidentiary hearing.
