Willis may have survived efforts from the Trump co-defendants to disqualify her, but ethics complaints continue to loom over the district attorney.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis may have been saved from disqualification on the Trump case, but there is still a rare chance that she could be removed from the prosecution.
Judge Scott McAfee, who is presiding over former President Donald Trump’s Georgia election interference case, ruled against disqualifying Willis on Friday, so long as special prosecutor Nathan Wade resigns from the case. But legal experts say the various ethics complaints against Willis could still pose a threat to the district attorney in the case against Trump and his allies.
Since Willis and Wade’s relationship was publicized in January, there have been several ethics complaints filed against Willis, accusing her of failing to file personal financial disclosure statements, of violating Georgia campaign finance and ethics rules and of misspending state funds, among other things.
