"Potential Fallout: Judge's Decision on Fani Willis Disqualification Looms"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by ABC News
Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee expects to release his ruling on the effort to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis from the Georgia election interference case on Friday, emphasizing that the process takes time. The motion to disqualify Willis stems from allegations of financial benefit from a romantic relationship with a member of her team, which she denies. McAfee, who is also in the midst of an election for a full four-year term, asserts that his ruling will be based on the law and not politics. The case involves former President Donald Trump and 18 others who pleaded not guilty to charges related to alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.
