A Georgia judge on Wednesday said Republican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump and eight of his co-defendants in the state’s criminal election subversion case could appeal a ruling that let lead prosecutor Fani Willis remain on the case.
Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee’s decision cleared the way for the former U.S. president and the others to ask a Georgia state appeals court to consider whether Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, should be disqualified over her romantic relationship with a former deputy, Nathan Wade.
McAfee indicated he would continue addressing other legal issues while the appeals court considers whether to take up the disqualification bid. A trial date has not yet been set.
Any place I’ve ever worked, it was definitely grounds for immediate termination. You most certainly should not be fucking your subordinates. Even if you’re 100% certain the relationship is consensual, the subordinate could feel as if it’s not, but is too fearful of losing their livelihood to object otherwise.
