Former President Donald Trump recently shared his reaction to the resignation of Fulton County Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade with his typically chatty style, writing a post on his Truth Social account that took swipes at Wade, District Attorney Fani Willis, President Joe Biden, and even Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is prosecuting the two federal indictments against the ex-president via Mediaite.
On Friday morning, Judge Scott McAfee had issued a much-anticipated ruling that rejected to find that Willis derived a “material financial benefit” from her past relationship with Wade and that would constitute a disqualifying conflict of interest.
He nonetheless sharply criticized how the prosecution was “encumbered by an appearance of impropriety,” necessitating that either Willis or Wade resign from the case.
Wade resigned Friday afternoon via a letter to Willis’ office, and Willis responded in her own letter accepting his resignation, clearing the way for her to continue overseeing the prosecution of the former president and several of his allies for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.

Trump’s message bashed Wade as “The Fani Willis lover” and a prosecutor who was “Special” “in more ways than one,” emphasized the pronunciation of Willis’ name, and wrapped with his standard complaints that everyone is out to get him “for purposes of Election Interference and living the life of the Rich & Famous.”
The Fani Willis lover, Mr. Nathan Wade Esq., has just resigned in disgrace, as per his and her reading of the Judge’s Order today. Nathan was the “Special,” in more ways than one, Prosecutor “engaged” by Fani (pronounced Fauni!) Willis, to persecute TRUMP for Crooked Joe Biden and his Department of Injustice, for purposes of Election Interference and living the life of the Rich & Famous. This is the equivalent of Deranged Jack Smith getting “canned,” BIG STUFF, something which should happen in the not too distant future!!!
