Key Points
- Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants can continue, but only if Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis or prosecutor Nathan Wade removes themselves.
- The ruling represents a middle ground following the revelation that Willis and Wade were engaged in a romantic relationship for more than a year.
- Willis and Wade admitted to the relationship only after it was first alleged in January court filings for defendant Michael Roman.
