Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis faces disqualification in the racketeering (RICO) and election interference case she brought against Donald Trump over her admitted romantic relationship with the attorney she chose to lead the high-profile prosecution.

Closing arguments began with aplomb from the defense on Friday.

“She’s supposed to be disinterested through the Sixth Amendment,” defense attorney John Merchant III said of Willis. “She’s anything but that.”
