Watch: Fulton County judge threatens to boot laughing Trump co-defendant from hearing

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee threatened to kick one of Donald Trump's co-defendants out of a hearing on Thursday.

At a proceeding to determine whether District Attorney Fani Willis and Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade should be disqualified from Trump's election interference case, defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant grilled Wade about personal expenses. Merchant asked Wade about travel with Willis in an attempt to prove the two had a romantic relationship.

When Wade said that Willis had reimbursed him for travel in cash, co-defendant David Shafer could be heard laughing.

"Mr. Shafer, you'll step out if you do that again," McAfee cautioned.
