Part 2/7:
Fanny Willis and her office charged Trump and several co-defendants with a 97-page indictment that included racketeering (RICO) violations. The proceedings against Trump have garnered extensive media attention and public scrutiny due to allegations of potential conflicts of interest involving Willis's relationship with Nathan Wade, a special assistant district attorney who was also disqualified earlier in the process.
Prior attempts to have Willis removed from the case were made, but Judge McAfee allowed her to remain while ousting Wade. However, the Appeals Court has now taken a stronger stance, stating that the trial court's earlier remedy did not adequately address the underlying ethical issues presented by their complex relationship.
