The case against Trump in Georgia hangs by a thread awaiting the judge's decision on the possible disqualification of the prosecutor. Prosecutor Fani Willis admitted a romantic relationship with the special prosecutor in the case but denied any wrongdoing.
The former president's lawyers denounce conflict of interest. If McAfee denies the request to disqualify Willis, “there is a good chance” that an appeals court will overturn that ruling and order another trial, he said. For a new prosecutor to take on the sprawling 15-defendant case would be a “massive task,” said Amy Lee Copeland, a former federal prosecutor in Georgia.
