Confirms scandal-ridden DA may have gained financially by hiring paramour

Fani Willis
A Georgia judge has determined that Fulton County DA Fani Willis was unprofessional and may well have benefited financially from hiring her paramour for more than $600,000 to develop an organized crime case against President Donald Trump but the Democrat can stay on the case if she severs links to her alleged lover.
Defense attorneys in the case had pointed out her longstanding relationship with Nathan Wade, whom she hired for two-thirds of a million dollars to attack Trump, and how she took trips to exotic locales with him.
However, the judge conceded that her claim to have reimbursed Wade in cash for the trips might be true, and he said she could remain on the case if she severed all ties to him.
Observers had speculated that to remove Willis entirely likely would have killed the DA’s political claims against Trump and others.
Fox News explained Judge Scott McAfee, in fact, gave Willis an ultimatum: step aside from the case or fire Wade.
