Just hours after the decision was announced, Wade resigned and Willis accepted his resignation, the DA's office announced. The choice was likely an easy one: If Willis had removed herself, the case would have been reassigned to another prosecutor, which could have jeopardized it.

"I am sure that the case, and the team, will be in good hands moving forward and justice will be served," he said. "However, I think he correctly found that those are ethical lapses that some other agency needs to look at. It doesn’t directly impact the Trump prosecution," Arora added.in October, pleading guilty to one felony count of conspiracy to commit filing false documents in exchange for his testimony.An attorney for one of Trump's co-defendants in the Georgia case said that they are"assessing next steps" after this morning's ruling.

"While we do not agree that the courts suggested cure is adequate in response to the egregious conduct by the district attorney, we look forward to the district attorneys response to the demands by the court," the statement added.the court that, from March 4 to March 8, the U.S. Attorney’s Office produced approximately 73,000 pages of records to the defendant in response to a subpoena in January. Another 31,000 pages of"additional records" were handed over on Wednesday.

David Schoen, who represented Trump during his second impeachment trial, went on to say that McAfee was"onto something" with the charges that he dropped in the ruling. "The corruption in Fulton County, Georgia is some of the worst in the nation. It makes most of us in Georgia sick," she wrote.Wade is likely to withdraw from the prosecution of the election interference case because the only other option, McAfee wrote, is for Willis and her office to step aside and the case would then need to be referred to the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council for reassignment.

McAfee wrote,"The District Attorney ascribed the effort as motivated by ‘playing the race card,' and said Willis referred to Wade as"the ‘black man’" while she labeled her other assistant district attorneys as"‘one white woman’ and ‘one white man.’" "We will use all legal options available as we continue to fight to end this case, which should never have been brought in the first place," he said.McAfee wrote that the court finds that the evidence didn't establish that Willis'"receipt of a material financial benefit as a result of her decision to hire and engage in a romantic relationship with Wade."

"There has not been a showing that the Defendants’ due process rights have been violated or that the issues involved prejudiced the Defendants in any way," he said.McAfee wrote that whether the election interference case ends in"convictions, acquittals, or something in between, the result should be one that instills confidence in the process."

"She further allowed the regular and loose exchange of money between them without any exact or verifiable measure of reconciliation," the judge wrote."This lack of a confirmed financial split creates the possibility and appearance that the District Attorney benefited — albeit non-materially — from a contract whose award lay solely within her purview and policing.
