Show Notes
This week on Trump's Trials, host ScottDetrow is joined by Justice Correspondent CarrieJohnson and Georgia politics reporter Sam Gringlas.
Judge Scott McAfee ruled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis can stay on the Georgia election interference case but only if she removes special prosecutor Nathan Wade. Wade later resigned in a letter to the district attorney.
Willis and Wade had come under fire for having a relationship that Trump and his co-defendants argued was a conflict of interest. Judge McAfee said in his ruling that the defendants did not meet the burden of proving the relationship was a conflict of interest but found "a significant appearance of impropriety" in the prosecution team.
And in New York, the judge overseeing the hush money case officially delayed the start of that trial to mid-April. Jury selection was originally set to begin on March 25.
Topics include:
- Nathan Wade resigns
- What decision means for the case and Willis
- Delay in New York hush money case
