Georgia court will review Trump's request to disqualify Fani Willis
The former president alleged that the prosecutor committed malpractice and violated ethical standards during the investigation of the electoral interference case in Georgia.
The former president alleged that the prosecutor committed malpractice and violated ethical standards during the investigation of the electoral interference case in Georgia.
The former president's legal team appealed Judge McAfee's decision that allowed the prosecutor to remain on the case if Nathan Wade, a member of the Prosecutor's Office with whom she had a romantic relationship, stepped aside.
This was defined by Judge Scott McAfee, who issued a certificate of immediate review on Wednesday, endorsing this judicial action.
The appeal argues that Nathan Wade's waiver is not sufficient to correct the appearance of wrongdoing identified by the court.
A judge ruled that either he or the Fulton County District Attorney must drop the case against the former president to allow the judicial process to continue.
