On Friday afternoon, Georgia attorney Nathan Wade resigned from the Fulton County district attorney's prosecution of former President Donald Trump for attempts to change the 2020 election results. Wade was the lead attorney on the case, but his relationship with District Attorney Fani Willis drew unwanted attention to the prosecution.
The allegations first became public in January, when one of Trump's co-defendants filed a motion in the case alleging that Willis and Wade had been romantically involved. The motion claimed a conflict of interest and asked that Willis and her office both be disqualified.
