A.P. News. I'm Adonihy. A decision has been made on going forward in the Georgia Election Interference case against former President Donald Trump. Here's the AP's Donna Warder. The judge in Fulton County has ruled that district attorney Fannie Willis must step aside from the case against former President Donald Trump or remove the special prosecutor with whom she had a romantic relationship. And Judge Scott McAfee says that must be done before the case can proceed. McAfee says he didn't find that Willis's relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade amounted to a conflict of interest that should disqualify her from the case. But he did say the allegations created an appearance of impropriety that infected the prosecution team. A spokesperson for Willis did not immediately respond to a text message asking for comment on the judge's ruling. I'm Donna Warder.
