Fani Willis takes stand to testify in hearing that could disqualify her from Trump election case

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

73% : Willis' removal would be a stunning development in the most sprawling of the four criminal cases against Trump.
42% : If that were to happen, a council that supports prosecuting attorneys in Georgia would find a new attorney to take over who could either proceed with the charges against Trump and 14 others or drop the case altogether.
34% : Even if a new lawyer went forward with the case, it would very likely not go to trial before November, when Trump is expected to be the Republican nominee for president.
32% : But the hours of probing questions for Wade underscored the extent to which the prosecutors who pledged to hold Trump accountable are themselves now under a public microscope, with revelations about their personal lives diverting attention away from Trump's own conduct and threatening to derail one of the four prosecutions he confronts as he vies to reclaim the White House.
27% : The revelation of earlier encounters threatens to undermine the prosecutors' credibility and upend the case against Trump and others who are charged with conspiring to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.
24% : Trump and others involved in the case have argued that the relationship presents a conflict of interest that should force Willis off the case.
19% : Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis took the witness stand on Thursday to testify about her romantic relationship with a special prosecutor she hired to lead the 2020 election interference case against Donald Trump.
19% : Since the allegations of an inappropriate relationship surfaced, Trump has used them to try to cast doubt on the legitimacy of Willis' case against him.
