The state presented its closing arguments late Thursday afternoon in the multi-day hearing to determine whether to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the racketeering (RICO) and election interference case she brought against Donald Trump.

The sum and substance of those removal efforts amount to claims that Willis began dating Nathan Wade sometime in late 2019, eventually hired him for the high-profile case in November 2021, reaped something not entirely unlike a financial windfall from Wade’s billable hours, and then worked to cover-up the scheme-like affair.

Willis sat down at the prosecution’s table during a brief recess after nearly two hours spent by attorneys representing a handful of the remaining 15 co-defendants in the sprawling RICO case. But while the defense had smooth sailing rehashing their arguments, the judge overseeing the case decidedly gave the state a harder time.
