The Georgia Court of Appeals has agreed to review former President Donald Trump's application to appeal Judge Scott McAfee's ruling to keep embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on the case.
Judge McAfee's order in March said that special prosecutor Nathan Wade had to be removed in order to keep Willis from disqualification in the Trump election interference case in Georgia. Willis and Wade were alleged to have had an "improper" affair.
Trump and several co-defendants alleged Willis and Wade were romantically involved prior to his hiring and that she financially benefited from the relationship. Both Willis and Wade denied those allegations.
Judge McAfee allowed the defense to appeal his ruling, and the appeals court announced Wednesday that they will hear the defense's case to still have Willis disqualified.

Sorry McAfee...you tried to split the baby...and it didn;t work. If you throw out one....you have to throw out both...since the reasoning is exactly the same.
She ould be not only disqualified, but charged as well for perjury.
The tendency of the legal profession, including judges, to protect it’s own has always astounded me. As long as you go along, you get along.
I think McAfee was trying to avoid being ‘the guy’ who banned her, so he practically begged the defense team to go up the ladder.
3 of the following 15 judges on the Georgia Court of Appeals will decide this case.
