Judge to consider whether to disqualify Fani Willis from Georgia election case

Eventual outcome of hearing could have far-reaching implications for one of the most perilous criminal cases against Trump

An Atlanta judge on Thursday will examine whether Fulton county prosecutors charging Donald Trump and his allies over efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia had improper romantic relations that merit being disqualified from bringing the case.

The eventual outcome of the hearing – expected to take over two days before the presiding Fulton county superior judge Scott McAfee – could have far-reaching implications for one of the most perilous criminal cases against the former president.
