Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, currently facing allegations of misusing public funds in appointing her alleged lover Nathan Wade as outside counsel, encountered a prior setback in a case related to the 2020 election results in Georgia. The Daily Caller reported on Tuesday, January 23, 2024, that Judge Robert McBurney removed Willis from the 2020 election case due to perceived political bias. Specifically, McBurney barred Willis from pursuing a case against Georgia State Sen. Burt Jones, accused of manipulating the election results, citing her hosting a fundraiser for Democratic candidate Charlie Bailey during Jones’ runoff race.

The judge considered Willis’ involvement in the fundraiser as “harmful” to the investigation into Jones, emphasizing that her donation to a Democrat campaign, while not disqualifying by itself, intensified the conflict created by her extensive campaign work for candidate Bailey.
McBurney’s ruling acknowledged Willis’ right as an elected official to make certain choices but raised concerns about politically motivated persecution, stating, “Any decision the district attorney makes about Senator Jones in connection with the grand jury investigation is necessarily infected by it.” Despite the prohibition from pursuing charges against Jones, Willis retained her role in investigating other individuals linked to the alleged manipulation of “fake electors,” with McBurney mandating that another prosecutor would handle charges against Jones.
The controversy surrounding Willis deepened with accusations of misusing county funds in appointing Nathan Wade, her alleged lover and a partner at the Wade & Campbell Firm, as “Taint Attorney” for privileged evidence in the case against former President Trump.
