A Georgia judge's ruling Friday declining to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from her election interference case against former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants on conflict of interest grounds could allow the prosecution to get back on track and quickly, but there are potential roadblocks. One potential obstruction was removed Friday afternoon when Willis accepted the resignation of Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor she appointed to lead the case.
Norm Eisen, who worked for House Democrats during Trump's first impeachment, said he did not believe a stay would be needed since the judge's ruling 'made clear' that none of the allegations 'goes to the evidence in this case' or to the 'issue of any defendants' right to be tried or not.
