Fox News’ Laura Ingraham issued an on-air apology Friday after the network bungled a graphic that was supposed to feature Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis across from Nathan Wade, a prosecutor who resigned from the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump.
ATLANTA (AP) — Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis can prosecute Donald Trump on charges that he interfered with Georgia’s 2020 election now that a special prosecutor with whom she had a romantic relationship has withdrawn from the case.
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.
The Fulton county district attorney on Friday formally accepted the resignation of her top deputy with whom she had a romantic relationship, ensuring she would continue to prosecute the criminal case against Donald Trump over the former president’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.
The Georgia judge overseeing Donald Trump’s criminal case over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election in the state on Friday declined to remove Fani Willis, the Fulton county district attorney, from leading the prosecution, finding there was no conflict of interest stemming from her romantic relationship with her top deputy.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will be allowed to continue prosecuting Donald Trump and more than a dozen co-defendants for their alleged scheme to overturn Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results.
