Fulton County Judge Investigating Alleged Improper Relationship and RICO Charge

Fulton County Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade speaks during a hearing in Superior Court of Fulton County, in Atlanta

In a high-profile case in Fulton County, Georgia, Judge Scott McAfee is presiding over a legal battle that has gained significant attention. The case involves Fonny Willis and Nathan Wade, who are allegedly involved in a secret relationship. Willis is accused of hiring Wade as a special prosecutor to investigate a RICO charge against former President Trump and several others.

Originally, the case had 17 or 19 defendants, including Sidney Bell, one of the former president's main lawyers in the election. However, some defendants have since pleaded guilty, resulting in a reduced number of individuals involved. The central issue before the court is whether Willis's involvement in hiring Wade was proper or improper. If the judge rules it as improper, it raises questions about the future of the case and who will be assigned to oversee it.
