Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee has set a March 1 hearing date for final arguments on whether District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified from the election interference case against former President Donald Trump.

The hearing, the result of which could see Ms. Willis replaced with a different prosecutor, is set for 1 p.m., and is expected to be live-streamed, as with most Fulton County proceedings.

Ms. Willis testified before Judge McAfee on Feb. 15–16, where she faced heated questioning over her relationship with top prosecutor Nathan Wade, amid allegations that Ms. Willis benefited financially from the relationship.

Defense attorneys have alleged that Ms. Willis began her romantic relationship with Mr. Wade in 2019, before she hired him for the high-profile Trump prosecution so they could both benefit financially from taxpayer funds. The attorneys have argued that hiring what would have been her boyfriend at the time amounted to a conflict of interest and so she should be disqualified from the case.

I’m still confident he is going to rule she and her office are conflicted in proceeding with the Trump (and other defendants) case.

I can't see how he can just let the two go on about their business in this case, even apart from mere appearances. They are tainted badly.

How he handles the changes in the overall case proceeding is what really matters. And I can't see him hindering that, either, at this point.

It’s beyond obvious that Fani Willis perjured herself - but given the state of the justice system these days...

You are more optimistic than I am

I dont see how that can happen in light of the current evidence esp the latest cell phone records bomb. This judge doesnt seem like the Arthur Engoron 'get trump at all costs' type. He actually seems to observe and place a personal value on upholding constitutional law. Fani made herself a clusterfk cake and iced it nicely with that nauseating public statement inside a packed church a month ago. No person with a brain (black or white) believes either of them.

They stole an election from a sitting President. This is nothing compared to that.
