Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee said last week that Fani Willis could remain on the 2020 election case involving former President Donald Trump if Nathan Wade resigned.

Washington — The Fulton County superior court judge overseeing the 2020 election case involving former President Donald Trump will allow the former president and a group of his co-defendants to appeal his decision allowing District Attorney Fani Willis to continue prosecuting the case if special prosecutor Nathan Wade resigned.

McAfee said in a brief 'Certificate of Immediate Review' that he intends to 'continue addressing the many other unrelated pending pretrial motions,' regardless of whether the appellate court agrees to take up the case.McAfee last week rejected a bid by Trump and his co-defendants to disqualify Willis and her office from prosecuting the case because of a romantic relationship she had with Wade, whom she hired as special prosecutor in November 2021.
