A Georgia appeals court agreed to consider former Donald Trump's appeal of a judge's decision not to remove Fani Willis from his racketeering indictment.
The appeals court had until May 13 to decide whether to take up the appeal of Fulton County Superior Court Judge‘s March 15 decision to keep Willis on the case. McAfee’s decision came with the caveat that Willis’s ex-lover and special prosecutor,Nathan Wade defended his workplace relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
The defendants would like to see the appeals court find that Willis’s relationship amounted to a conflict of interest and have her completely removed from the case. It is not clear when the appeals court will weigh arguments in the dispute, Efforts to disqualify Willis were first spurred by Mike Roman, a Republican operative who is one of Trump’s allies charged in the sweeping racketeering indictment. Roman’s lawyer, Ashleigh Merchant, first revealed allegations of a previous long-term relationship between Willis and Wade in a Jan. 8 complaint filed to McAfee.
McAfee noted at one point that there were “reasonable questions” about Willis’s and Wade’s truthfulness when they testified about their romantic relationship under penalty of perjury.
