"Fani Willis Case: Closing Arguments and Key Witness Testimony"

The hearing, which deviated from the racketeering case against Trump and co-defendants, saw dramatic testimony about the timing and nature of the relationship. Defense lawyers failed to produce concrete evidence of a conflict of interest, but the judge may consider the appearance of one.

"Judge Considers Disqualifying Fani Willis Amid Misconduct Allegations in Trump Election Case"

The hearing was prompted by allegations of misconduct due to Willis's romantic relationship with the special prosecutor she hired for the case. Willis addressed the challenges using Biblical references, emphasizing that while weapons may form against her, they will not prosper. Legal experts predict that the motion to disqualify Willis and the special prosecutor will not be granted, as it does not affect the fair trial rights of Trump and his co-defendants.
