Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! You asked, we delivered. I know you’ve wanted our hot takes on the effort to have Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis and prosecutor Nathan Wade removed from the Fulton County Trump case, but we’ve been waiting for more details to emerge. Well, on February 15th we got a truckload of details and now we have a few things to say.
The misconduct hearing concerning Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis's potential disqualification from the Georgia election interference case against Donald Trump took place 10 days ago and included plenty of fireworks.
Defense attorneys scrutinized the credibility of Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade, but faced setbacks when Wade's former law partner invoked attorney-client privilege.
The hearing primarily focused on whether Willis and Wade's romantic involvement began before his appointment as special prosecutor. Willis then provided unexpected testimony about cash reimbursements for trips with Wade. The outcome of the hearing carries significant implications for the prosecution of Trump and his co-defendants.
