Nathan Wade resigns from Fani Willis-led Trump election case after judge's ruling: Highlights

The latest news in the Georgia election interference case:

  • Judge Scott McAfee, who is overseeing Donald Trump's election interference trial, ruled that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should not be disqualified from prosecuting the racketeering case against the former president and several co-defendants, but either she or special prosecutor Nathan Wade should leave the case.
  • Just hours after the decision was announced, Wade resigned and Willis accepted his resignation, the DA's office announced. The choice was likely an easy one: If Willis had removed herself, the case would have been reassigned to another prosecutor, which could have jeopardized it.
  • Defense attorneys argued Willis should be removed from the case because of her relationship with Wade, whom she hired in November 2021. Willis and Wade have said their romantic relationship didn't begin until after he was hired, while defense lawyers alleged it began earlier.
  • Willis has charged Trump and 18 co-defendants with racketeering for their alleged actions in trying to overturn the 2020 election. Four have taken guilty pleas.
