MSNBC reports that Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor in Fulton County at the center of an appeal from a co-defendant in Donald Trump’s RICO case for election fraud, has resigned his position, allowing prosecutor Fani Willis to stay on the case against the former president and other co-conspirators. In his letter of resignation, Wade specifically noted that while there was no finding of a conflict of interest, he would resign to comply with the judge’s order in the case.
In Willis’s response accepting the resignation, she commended Wade’s service and noted that others turned down the appointment due to attacks on their professional reputation and threats against them and others close to them.
