Washington — The Georgia Court of Appeals temporarily halted proceedings in the 2020 election case involving former President Donald Trump while it reviews a trial judge's ruling that allowed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to continue prosecuting the case.
While rejecting the request to disqualify Willis, McAfee issued a scathing rebuke of the district attorney's conduct. The judge said that while he couldn't conclusively determine when the prosecutors' relationship turned romantic, 'an odor of mendacity remains.' McAfee criticized Willis for a 'tremendous lapse in judgment.'Trump faces 10 charges in the sprawling racketeering case brought by Fulton County prosecutors and has pleaded not guilty.
