The article reports on the ruling by judge Scott McAfee of Fulton Superior Court in Georgia that district attorney Fani T. Willis could continue leading in the election interference prosecution of former U.S. President Donald J. Trump and his allies only if her former romantic partner, special prosecutor Nathan J. Wade, withdrew from the case. It suggests the impact of the ruling on the judgment, professionalism and integrity of Willis and potential conflict-of-interest involving prosecutors.
