Fani Willis notches legal win in Trump case after months of setbacks

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis caught a break this week after a Georgia judge decided that a court order pausing litigation in the electioneering case against former President Trump would not prevent him from letting some parts of the case move forward. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee on Tuesday said he plans to continue working on some pretrial motions while the Georgia Court of Appeals reviews his decision on the motion to disqualify Wills, Fox 5 reported.

In February, Michael Roman, a GOP operative and co-defendant in the case, dropped bombshell accusations that Willis had an 'improper' affair with Wade, whom she hired to help prosecute the case in November 2021. Other co-defendants made similar allegations that she had financially benefited from her relationship with him by taking lavish vacations together.
