Fulton County Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade has dropped out of the election subversion case involving former President Trump and co-defendants.
The development comes after Fulton County Judge McAfee ruled that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had to either recuse herself or remove her lover, Wade, from the Trump case.
Wade released a statement, resigning from the case, saying that, “Seeking justice for the people of Georgia and the United States, and being part of the effort to ensure that the rule of law and democracy are preserved, has been the honor of a lifetime.”

Wade was under scrutiny for being a prosecuting attorney in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ case against Trump.
Willis, according to critics, has exposed herself to credible claims about her credibility now that other investigations are underway, including one launched by the Georgia Senate. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp can also step in and investigate Willis if he so desires.
Final Word
And so the case continues, albeit different than how it started.
Willis has inferred that she has had to do her job amid intense pressure on her personal life.
Speaking to a church in January, Willis said that she is far from perfect.
““You cannot expect black women to be perfect. We need to be allowed to stumble. We need grace. We are all sinners,” she said.
“We need your prayers, We need to be allowed to stumble. We need grace. With that type of support, we will move mountains and do Jesus’s will — stumbling all of the way!”
We’ll see how the hearing unfolds, but it’s no doubt that Republicans will celebrate if Willis is taken down and Democrats will breathe a sigh of relief if she is found to stay
