Fani Willis’ ‘lover’ prosecutor Nathan Wade has dramatically stepped down from his role as lead prosecutor in Donald Trump’s election interference case in Georgia after a judge’s ruling earlier today.
Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, escaped with a slap on the wrist as the judge decided she could stay on the case.
But the judge said she could only do so if Wade removed himself to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest.
Wade’s resignation letter was addressed to Willis, his now former boss, who accepted it.
He wrote: ‘The furtherance of the rule of law and democracy has always been the North Star of our combined efforts in the prosecution of those who are alleged to have attempted to overthrow of the results of Georgia’s 2020 presidential election.’
Wade said he was stepping down ‘in the interest of democracy, in dedication to the American public and to move this case forward as quickly as possible.’
In accepting her former lover’s resignation Willis complimented Wade’s ‘professionalism and dignity’.
