Judge Allows Fani Willis to Continue Prosecuting Trump Georgia Election Case with Conditions

A Fulton County judge ruled that District Attorney Fani Willis and her office can continue prosecuting the 2020 election case involving former President Donald Trump and his allies if special prosecutor Nathan Wade steps aside, following allegations of a romantic relationship between the two. The judge criticized Willis for a "tremendous lapse in judgment" but allowed her to remain on the case, while also dismissing six counts in the indictment and leaving the remainder intact for Georgia prosecutors to seek a new indictment. The bid to disqualify Willis and Wade arose from claims of a pre-existing relationship and financial benefits, leading to fiery testimony and scrutiny of their personal and professional interactions.
