After a two-day hearing over a motion to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the high profile racketeering case naming former President Donald Trump, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has to sort out remaining issues with privileged evidence, call attorneys back to conference, and issue an order.
