With salacious testimony finished, legal arguments set to begin over Fani Willis' future in Trump case

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : That person could either proceed with some or all of the charges against Trump and others, or drop the case altogether.
40% : Even if a new lawyer moved forward on the path charted by Willis, the inevitable delay would seem likely to lessen the probability of the case getting to trial before November’s presidential election when Trump is expected to be the Republican nominee.
33% : Since the relationship was revealed in early January, the subject dominating the court’s time and the public’s attention has not been the crimes prosecutors allege Trump and his allies committed while trying to overturn the election, but rather the intimate details of Willis and Wade’s relationship.
30% : Four people have pleaded guilty after reaching deals with prosecutors, while Trump and 14 others have pleaded not guilty.
28% : Willis’ removal would throw the most sprawling of the four criminal cases against Trump into question as the former president seeks a return to the White House.
26% : Lawyers for Roman, Trump and some of the other defendants in the election case repeatedly tried during last month’s hearing to prove the prosecutors were not being truthful about when their relationship began.
25% : Lawyers for Trump and other defendants in the election case argue Willis’ romance with a special prosecutor she hired creates a conflict of interest.
25% : Because Willis and Wade said the relationship ended before they sought an indictment in the election interference case, it’s hard to argue the due process rights of Trump and his co-defendants were violated, Kreis said.
22% : A Fulton County grand jury indicted Trump and 18 others in August on charges related to efforts to keep the Republican incumbent in power even though he lost the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden.
