The state judge in Georgia is expected to make a decision within the next two weeks on whether Fulton County DA Fannie Willis should be removed from the Trump election interference case. This decision follows arguments presented in court recently. Another judge, Jack Smith, involved in a separate case against Trump, has deemed the proposed trial date unrealistic.
The rulings of these judges could potentially impact whether former President Trump will face trial in Georgia and Florida later this year. In Georgia, Trump and his co-defendants have accused Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis of benefiting financially from her relationship with a special prosecutor named Nathan Wade. Willis hired Wade to assist with the election interference case in November 2021. The defense argues that this relationship creates a conflict of interest that should disqualify Willis from the case.
