Former President Donald Trump’s lawyer Steve Sadow criticized Friday’s ruling that permits Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis to remain on the case if her ex-lover and fellow prosecutor Nathan Wade is removed.
Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee ruled the former lovers’ relationship produced no “actual conflict” that would force Willis from the case. McAfee found the two former lovers only engaged in an “appearance of impropriety,” which should result in Willis leaving her office if Wade is not removed from the case.
Sadow said McAfee “did not afford appropriate significance to the prosecutorial misconduct of Willis and Wade,” citing “financial benefits, testifying untruthfully about when their personal relationship began, as well as Willis’ extrajudicial MLK ‘church speech,’ where she played the race card and falsely accused the defendants and their counsel of racism.”
“We will use all legal options available as we continue to fight to end this case, which should never have been brought in the first place,” he added.Before this scandal was unearthed by defense attny Ashley Merchant, things were rolling along for Fani W. She’s now been publicly humiliated and disgraced. Her ethical & legal probs are only just beginning. I’m not at all confident she will try this case v Trump.
