Another Trump Trial Derailed: Fani-Donating Judge’s Decision To Keep Her On RICO Trial Under Scrutiny By Appeals Court
One day after erstwhile president Donald Trump’s classified papers trial was postponed indication after we learned that the DOJ mishandled evidence in the case (with justice Aileen M. Cannon city a mountain of 'outstanding' pre-trial matters that would make a May 20 Trial 'imprudent'), another Trump case appears to have no chance of going to trial before the 2024 election.
On Wednesday, a Georgia appeals court agreed to review a lower court rolling which allowed Fulton region territory lawyer Fani Willis to stay on the Trump RICO prosecution despite being highly conflicted.
To review, Atlanta justice Scott McAfee of Fulton Superior Court, who donated to Fani Willis erstwhile she was moving for office, routed in March that the Fani Simple had to kick her lover, Nathan Wade, off the case after she paid him more than $600,000. The 2 notoriously took respective lavish vacations together on Wade’s dime (which Fani sweets She repaid in cash).
According to McAfee, while he found the "appearance of imporriety," no "disqualification of a constitutional officer essential erstwhile a little dramatic and effective remedial option is available," adding "that the projection of this case can be obtained until the State selects 1 of 2 options."
And now, the Atlanta Court of Appeals has agreed to hear an appeal from the defenses over whether McAfee erred in his decision.

Willis indicated Trump and 18 another defenses last August, accepting them of a wide-rang strategy to effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state. All of the defenses were charged under Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations, or RICO, law. Trump and most of the another defenses have been occupied not guilty.
In their application, Trump and another defenses argued that McAfee was incorrect not to remove both WIllis and Wade, writing that “Providing DA Willis with the option to simply remove Wade connections logical and is contrary to Georgia law.‘
Most recently, Willis has defiantly refoused to appear before a Georgia legislature Investigative Committee, telling reporters earlier this week (via RedState):
REPORTER: Would you appear before a Georgia legislature committee without a subpoena?
WILLIS: Well first of all I don’t even think they have the authority to subpoena me, but they didn’t learn the law.
REPORTER: Will you appear, yes or no?
WILLIS: I will not apply to anything that is unlawful. I have not broken the law in any way. I’ve said it, you know, I’ll say it amongst these leaders—I’m sorry folk get p***ed off that everyone gets treated even.
FAITH LEADER STANDARDING NEXT TO HER: I think she answered that very well.
