Former President Donald Trump and a group of his co-defendants have asked Judge Scott McAfee to permit the appeal of his recent ruling permitting Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to remain on the case if a special prosecutor she hired were to depart.
Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor in question, ultimately stepped down after McAfee’s order last week. He and Willis have admitted to a romantic relationship, though they claim it began after Wade’s hiring. Trump co-defendant Mike Roman initially brought allegations that Willis had financially benefitted from Wade’s hiring via the relationship.
