“The optics are horrific,” Fulton County Judge Robert McBurney said about the fundraiser before disqualifying Willis and her staff from pursuing charges against Jones in July 2022.
More recently, Willis admitted to having a “personal relationship” with Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor she hired to help with Trump’s prosecution.
Wade hasn’t just billed Fulton County over $650,000 under Willis’ supervision; he’s done so in irregular fashion.
Combined with his personal relationship with Willis, they raise significant questions, including whether any of his outsized earnings have benefited Willis.
If Willis and Wade step aside, other competent lawyers can make the case that Trump violated the law.
