MAGA lawyer Lin Wood, who filed lawsuits attempting to overturn the 2020 election in favor of Donald Trump, was listed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ office as a “witness for the state” in a Wednesday court filing—but he maintains he hasn’t betrayed the former president. A Fulton County grand jury had previously recommended Lin Wood be indicted in the sprawling racketeering case but prosecutors decided not to charge him along with Trump and his 18 co-defendants. Wood rejected the idea that he had made an arrangement with prosecutors, and insisted Wednesday that he was merely subpoenaed last week to testify at a trial next month for two co-defendants. “I continue to be at a loss to understand why I’m dragged into this,” he told The Hill on Wednesday. Since Wood is a witness, he could be cross-examined by a former co-counsel, who is representing former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, thus forcing a conflict of interest. Wood retired earlier this summer to avoid facing disbarment over his various election schemes.
