Fulton County D.A. to remain on Trump case despite affair allegations

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis appears during a hearing regarding defendant Harrison Floyd, a leader in the organization Black Voices for Trump, as part of the Georgia election indictment

Fulton County District Attorney Fonny Willis has decided not to recuse herself from the election subversion case against Donald Trump, according to inside sources. This decision comes despite recent scrutiny surrounding her alleged affair with the lead prosecutor that she appointed. Willis is reportedly concerned that stepping down could potentially end or significantly delay the case.

However, the question of whether the case would indeed come to a halt or experience considerable delays if Willis were to recuse herself remains open. Last year, when Willis recused herself from another case, it has not been picked up by any other prosecutor, potentially indicating that the absence of an alternative prosecutor could effectively terminate the investigation. At the very least, it is likely to cause substantial delays.
