Donald Trump has been criminally charged by the Fulton county district attorney for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia

Former President Donald Trump is facing criminal charges in Georgia for trying to overturn the 2020 election results. But his prosecution could be stalled by a scandal involving the district attorney and the special prosecutor in charge of the case. The scandal has raised questions about the impartiality and integrity of the legal proceedings against Trump. Critics argue that the political motivations of the district attorney and special prosecutor could taint the case and undermine the pursuit of justice. Meanwhile, Trump’s legal team is seizing on the controversy to challenge the credibility of the prosecution and push for the charges to be dismissed. As the legal battle unfolds, the outcome could have significant implications for the future of Trump’s political career and the broader debate over election integrity.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis hired Nathan Wade, a lawyer who specializes in car accidents and family law, as the special prosecutor for the case. Wade has already billed the taxpayers more than $650,000 for his work.

But a lawyer for Mike Roman, a former Trump campaign staffer and one of the 18 co-defendants in the case, has filed a motion to dismiss the charges and disqualify Willis and Wade from the case. The motion claims that Willis and Wade had a “personal, romantic relationship” before and during the case, and that Wade used the money he earned from the case to take Willis on vacations. The motion says that this creates a conflict of interest and undermines the integrity of the prosecution.

The motion is based on sealed records from Wade’s divorce from his wife of 28 years, who allegedly discovered the affair. The records have not been made public, and neither Willis nor Wade have confirmed or denied the allegations.

Anthony Michael Kreis, an associate law professor at Georgia State University, said that the motion is unlikely to succeed in court, as there is no clear evidence of any wrongdoing or bias by Willis or Wade. He said that the motion is more of a political tactic to distract from the merits of the case and to delay the trial.

“The allegations are very serious, but they are also very thin,” Kreis said. “They are based on hearsay and speculation, and they do not show how the relationship affected the prosecution. This is a smoke screen to create doubt and confusion in the public.”

The trial, which was scheduled to start in June 2024, could be postponed until after the 2024 election, if the motion is granted or if it leads to appeals and further litigation. This could benefit Trump, who has hinted at running for president again, and who has used the Georgia case as a rallying point for his supporters and his claims of election fraud.

The case stems from a phone call that Trump made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on January 2, 2021, in which he pressured him to “find” enough votes to overturn his defeat by Joe Biden in Georgia. Trump also threatened Raffensperger with legal consequences if he did not comply. The call was recorded and leaked to the media, sparking outrage and condemnation.

Willis announced in February 2021 that she was opening a criminal investigation into Trump and his associates for possible violations of Georgia’s election laws, including solicitation of election fraud, conspiracy, racketeering, and making false statements. She said that she was acting in the interest of justice and the rule of law, and that she was not influenced by any political agenda.

But the scandal involving Willis and Wade has cast a shadow over the case, and has given Trump and his allies a new opportunity to attack the prosecution and what they say, will undermine the public’s confidence in the legal system. That has been done long ago.

“This is a witch hunt by the radical left, and they are using a corrupt and incompetent district attorney and a crooked special prosecutor to try to destroy me and my supporters,” Trump said in a statement. “They are wasting millions of dollars of taxpayer money on a fake case that has no basis in fact or law. They are the ones who should be investigated and prosecuted, not me.”

These are some of the possible outcomes of the case, but there could be other twists and turns along the way. The case is unprecedented and complex, and it could have significant implications for the future of American democracy and the rule of law.
