Defense attorneys in the Georgia election interference case have asked
Judge Scott McAfee to let them appeal his decision not
to disqualify DEA.
Funny Willis and her office,
attorneys for former President Trump and seven other defendants filed
that motion.
You'll remember on Friday, Special prosecutor Nathan Wade resigned after
Judge McAfee made that a condition of allowing Willis to
stay on the case.
The defense attorneys argue that wage resignation is,
quote, insufficient to cure the appearance of impropriety that the
court determined exist.
Judge McAfee called their romantic relationship a tremendous lapse in
judgment,
but ultimately determined there was not enough evidence to suggest
DA Willis financially benefited from hiring Way Now.
If the judge grants permission,
the Court of Appeals would decide whether to hear an
appeal of his ruling.
