Final arguments are imminent in the trial involving former President Donald Trump in Atlanta, where Fulton County District Attorney Fonny Willis is battling to avoid disqualification from prosecuting the Georgia election subversion case against Trump. The defense team for Trump and his allies is set to present evidence suggesting that Willis and the top prosecutor, Nathan Wade, may have lied about the extent and timing of their relationship.
The defense plans to introduce cell phone data obtained through a subpoena, which allegedly reveals thousands of phone interactions between Wade and Willis before they claimed their relationship began. Additionally, the data reportedly shows that Wade made multiple visits to an area where Willis owned a condo, some of which extended into late evening and early morning hours.
Judge Scott McAfee, overseeing the case, anticipates a day of arguments on Friday. He stated that if the arguments presented by the counsels are deemed significant and relevant to the case, further evidence may be admitted and subject to cross-examination.
The motion to disqualify Fonny Willis initially stemmed from allegations that she financially benefited from hiring Nathan Wade as the top prosecutor. However, the focus has now shifted to whether Willis and Wade provided false testimony during questioning.
