Abstract

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis did not testify on the second day of a hearing in Georgia to determine if she should be disqualified from overseeing the election-racketeering prosecution against Donald Trump and his co-defendants. A state prosecutor surprised everyone by stating that they had no further questions for Willis after her testimony on Thursday, where she defended her reputation and argued that her romantic relationship with one of her lead prosecutors, Nathan Wade, was not improper or illegal. The hearing is focused on determining if their relationship constitutes a conflict of interest that could disqualify the prosecutors from the case. The judge presiding over the hearing, Scott McAfee, has not yet made a decision on the matter. [Extracted from the article]
