Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee are both facing two challengers for their seats.
Trump attorney Steve Sadow highlighted McAfee's own determinations that Willis and Wade had created an "odor of mendacity" in the case and the prospect that an outsider could conclude Willis was not free of conflict in the case.
"You're gonna see the heat coming from the mainstream media," Patel said.
Earlier in the day, reports emerged that the case had disappeared form the court docket, prompting speculation that the trial would be postponed as Trump appeals his presidential immunity claims.
McAfee, in his ruling, indicated that the "allegations and evidence [were] legally insufficient to support a finding of an actual conflict of interest" but did highlight the "appearance of impropriety."
Eight in 10 Trump voters are sure they'd support him, even if he’s convicted of a felony.
Willis has also been accused of misusing federal funds by a former staffer.
