A Georgia judge presiding over the 2020 election interference case against former President Trump announced Wednesday that Trump and his co-defendants can appeal the order that denied the disqualification of embattled DA Fani Wills. Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee on Wednesday issued a certificate of immediate review, allowing Trump and eight co-defendants to seek an appeal of the order.
Trump and several co-defendants said Willis was romantically linked with Wade prior to his hiring and alleged that she was financially benefiting from the position he held in her office. Both Willis and Wade denied those allegations. After hearing all the evidence presented in court, McAfee on Friday gave Willis an ultimatum – remove herself from the case or fire Wade. Hours after the judge's order, Wade resigned from the case.
