Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade has resigned, and District Attorney Fonnie Willis will continue to lead the Trump criminal case in Georgia. The presiding judge ruled against efforts to disqualify Willis, stating that she did not engage in any corrupt activities. However, the judge criticized both Willis and Wade for their unprofessional conduct during the proceedings, which cast a shadow over the case.
While Willis will remain on the case, Trump's attorneys have indicated they will pursue further legal action, alleging prosecutorial misconduct. The timeline for the trial, originally set for August, is now uncertain due to the ongoing legal challenges and the need to appoint a new prosecutor.
In a separate development, the New York hush money case against Trump, scheduled for March 25th, may be delayed. Prosecutors have agreed to a 30-day delay, while Trump's legal team is seeking a 90-day extension to review new evidence. The judge has announced a hearing on March 25th to determine a new trial date if necessary, temporarily suspending the case for 30 days.
As a result, the start date for the New York case remains uncertain, pending the judge's decision after the upcoming hearing. Both cases involving Trump continue to face legal challenges and delays, prolonging the legal proceedings and adding to the complexity of the situation.
