Judge Who Ruled Fani Willis Can Stay on Trump Case Donated to Her in 2020.
Judge Scott McAfee, who ruled on Thursday that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis can continue prosecuting her RICO case against Donald Trump, donated to her in 2020.
Willis faced being disqualified from the case after it emerged that she conducted a lengthy sexual affair with the lead prosecutor she hired, Nathan Wade. It was alleged during a series of dramatic court hearings that Willis lied about the affair and its timing and benefited financially from hiring Wade, with whom she enjoyed several lavish vacations.
McAfee ruled she can remain on the case despite the “appearance of impropriety,” however, as long as Wade is dismissed. There was a widespread expectation she would not receive such a favorable ruling, considering the evidence that emerged during the hearings. The fact that McAfee previously donated $150 to Willis in 2020 — the year she was elected — is now being flagged as a possible conflict of interest.
“Judge McAfee ruled that Fani Willis can keep prosecuting President Trump’s case in Fulton County, Georgia. McAfee has also donated to Fani Willis. This is unreal,” commented investigative reporter Laura Loomer.
