Judge Sets March 1 Hearing For Final Arguments On Fani Willis Disqualification

 A Fulton County judge has set a March 1 date for final arguments on whether District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified from the case.

Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee has set a March 1 hearing date for final arguments on whether District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified from the election interference case against former President Donald Trump.

The hearing, the result of which could see Ms. Willis replaced with a different prosecutor, is set for 1 p.m., and is expected to be live-streamed, as with most Fulton County proceedings.

Ms. Willis testified before Judge McAfee on Feb. 15-16, where she faced heated questioning over her relationship with top prosecutor Nathan Wade, amid allegations that Ms. Willis benefited financially from the relationship.

Both Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade have denied any financial benefit from their relationship, while insisting their relationship started in 2022, after Ms. Willis had already hired Mr. Wade for the job.

While both Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade have said that their relationship started in 2022, a college friend of Ms. Willis testified in court that their relationship in fact began shortly after they met a conference in 2019.

Judge McAfee has said that Ms. Willis could be disqualified from the case if there is enough evidence to show "An actual conflict or the appearance of one."
