Donald Trump defense lawyers faced off in an Atlanta courtroom with attorneys from a Georgia district attorney’s office on Friday, giving final arguments before a judge decides whether Fulton County DA Fani Willis and her special prosecutor Nathan Wade will be kicked off the criminal racketeering case they’ve waged against the former president.

Willis and Wade admitted to a clandestine affair after they were outed for it in January — but maintain the relationship became official in 2022, after they brought the case against the ex-president.

But witnesses including Willis’ former BFF and employee, and Wade’s ex-law partner claimed they knew of the attorneys’ being intimate as early as 2019.

Whether Willis will be booted from the prosecution team could hinge on whether Judge Scott McAfee finds there to be proof that their relationship began before the time they’ve admitted to being lovers.

He said when closing court Friday that he “hopes” to make a decision within the next two weeks.

Willis alleges in her bombshell criminal racketeering case that Trump and others for tried to overturn the 2020 election in the Peach Tree state.
