However, revelations about her personal relationship with Nathan Wade, a former special prosecutor in the case, raised questions about impartiality and led to challenges from Trump’s legal team.
Representation
The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office was represented by Fani T. Willis, Grant Rood, Anna Green Cross, Adam Abbate, Alex Bernick, John Floyd, Adam Ney, Daysha Young, John William Wooten, and Donald Wakeford.
Donald Trump is represented by Steve H. Sadow of Steven H. Sadow PC and Jennifer L. Little of Jennifer Little Law LLC.
What’s Next?
With Willis disqualified, a new prosecutor will need to be appointed to lead the case. The ruling leaves open questions about the timing and logistics of continuing the prosecution, with potential delays or complications as new leadership takes over.
For Trump and his legal team, the ruling represents a significant victory, although the case itself remains intact. Whether the appellate court’s decision impacts other legal battles involving Trump remains to be seen.
