CNN —A hearing that could derail the election subversion case against Donald Trump and others in Georgia is underway as a judge considers whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified.
It’s unclear if another prosecutor in Georgia would even be inclined to take up the case from Willis, given its political and legal challenges.
Wade and Willis acknowledged in court filings that they had a personal relationship but deny any wrongdoing.
McAfee called for the hearing Thursday to “establish the record on those core allegations” against Willis and Wade and their relationship.
“We are focusing on what the judge asked us to show him – the personal and financial benefits that Willis got from Wade,” Merchant told CNN.
