We begin with that major decision in the Georgia Election interference case against donald trump. The judge ruling District Attorney fani willis can stay on the case, but only if her former romantic partner leaves. The judge finding the romantic relationship between willis and the Chief Prosecutor she hired, nathan wade, showed a tremendous lack of judgment, but he did not find a Conflict Of Interest that harmed the defendants case. Instead, judge scott mcafee gave willis a choice. Either she and her entire staff could step down, or wade alone could resign from the case. Late today, nathan wade submitted his resignation, saying it was in the interest of democracy and to move this case forward as quickly as possible. Tonight, Donald Trumps Georgia Trial may still go forward but without a clear date as to when it might begin. Abcs Senior Investigative correspondent Aaron Katersky leads us off in atlanta tonight. How confident are you that the judge will find there hasnt been a Conflict Of Interest . Reporter tonight, a judge in georgia giving Fulton County District Attorney fani willis a stark choice. She can keep leading the Election Interference Case against donald trump, only if her top prosecutor and former romantic partner steps down. Trump and several of his codefendants fought to remove willis, arguing she financially benefited by hiring nathan wade. Today, judge scott mcafee ruling the defendants failed to meet their burden of proving that the District Attorney acquired an actual Conflict Of Interest. The judge adding, georgia law does not permit the finding of an actual conflict for simply making bad choices, even repeatedly. Its a win for the d. A. At a humiliating cost. Im ready to go. Reporter the judge admonishing for her a tremendous lapse in judgment and criticizing her testimony as unprofessional. Youre confused, you think im on trial. These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. Im not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on trial. Reporter he also rebuked willis for a speech she gave in church, Suggesting Wade only came under attack because hes black. I appointed three special counselors. Its my right to do. Paid them all the same hourly rate. They only attack one. Reporter judge mcafee said it was legally improper for willis to cast racial aspersions. He also questioned her credibility on the witness stand, and wades too, writing, an odor of mendacity remains. Ultimately, he determined the onetime romance created a significant appearance of impropriety. So, if willis is to stay on the case, her exboyfriend must go. And hours later, nathan wade was gone, submitting his resignation, saying he was doing it in the interest of democracy, in dedication to the american public, and to move this case forward as quickly as possible.
