Fani Willis thrown off Trump case? Election fraud charges dismissed? A look at the key Georgia case
The saga of whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will be disqualified from prosecuting Donald Trump and 14 others for allegedly trying to steal the 2020 election in Georgia is far from over. And whether the case will go to trial before the next election this November is anybody's guess.
A judge ruled Friday that Willis could keep her control of the election fraud case against the former president if special prosecutor Nathan Wade, with whom she had an affair, stepped down. Wade did so hours later, allowing the sweeping racketeering case to go forward.
On Monday, Trump and seven other defendants filed an emergency appeal, asking the presiding judge, Scott McAfee, to allow them to go right to the Georgia state Court of Appeals to overturn his decision instead of waiting until after the trial.
An eighth defendant joined soon after. And on Wednesday, McAfee approved the emergency request, allowing Trump and the others to again make the case that Willis and the entire election case have to go.
In their request asking McAfee to grant a certificate of immediate review, the lawyers said his decision didn't go far enough. They not only want Willis and her entire office thrown off the case, but the charges dismissed altogether.
An 'odor of mendacity' remains on the case
"an odor of mendacity remains," McAfee wrote, saying Willis and Wade had severely damaged their credibility while on the witness stand. He said, "reasonable questions" remained over whether they had "testified untruthfully"
