Allegations Against Fani Willis Used to Attack Trump Prosecution

Despite Allegations, Legal Experts Say Willis and Wade Should Not Be Disqualified from Prosecuting the Case

Allegations of a romantic relationship between Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and the attorney she hired to lead the prosecution of Donald Trump in Georgia, Nathan Wade, are being used by Trump and Republicans to attack the case.
Willis' office allegedly paid Wade large sums, and she benefitted personally when he used his earnings to take her on trips to Napa Valley, Florida and the Caribbean.
Legal experts say that even if the allegations are true, they do not provide a basis for disqualifying Willis and Wade from prosecuting the case.
Willis has defended her hiring of Wade, but has not directly denied a romantic relationship.
Judge Scott McAfee has set a February 15 hearing on the motion and ordered Willis to file a response to the allegations by February 2.
