One of the most important criminal cases against Donald Trump has been on life support for weeks now,

but as of today, it appears that the case will live and the former president will likely have to face trial.

For the past two months, we've watched as the Georgia election interference case against

Donald Trump and 14 co-defendants devolved into a high-stakes side show. Several of the defendants in this case accused

Fani Willis of having a relationship with the special prosecutor on her team,

Nathan Wade, a relationship that created a conflict of interest.

They argued that because of that relationship, Fani Willis needed to be thrown off the case, a move

that would have effectively killed any chance of this case ever getting to trial.

Last month, DA Willis admitted that she and Mr. Wade did engage in a romantic relationship

for a period of time, but maintained that it had no bearing on this case.

The judge overseeing the case heard hours and hours of testimony to determine when the relationship

began and what, if any, financial benefit Fani Willis received as a result

of that relationship and all of it served to steer attention away from the heart of the case,

the conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election.

Fannie Willis herself raised that point during her own dramatic testimony on the stand.

Today the judge finally ruled on whether Willis can remain on this case.

In a 23-page order, Judge Scott McAfee writes, quote,
