Allegations Against Fulton County DA Could Impact Trump Prosecution

Claims of a personal relationship between DA Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade could lead to recusal from the case if substantiated.

Allegations against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is leading the prosecution of Donald Trump in Atlanta, suggest she had an inappropriate “personal, romantic relationship” with the special prosecutor she hired for the case, potentially constituting a conflict of interest.
The allegations are based on sealed records from ongoing divorce proceedings between the special prosecutor, Nathan Wade, and his wife.
Willis' office has paid Wade an estimated $1,000,000 in legal fees, and it is alleged that they have taken trips together, presumably funded by Wade's earnings from the case.
The Trump legal team and conservative media have used the allegations to cast the entire prosecution as corrupt.
If substantiated, the allegations could result in Willis and her entire office being recused from the case, which would then be handled by another prosecutor's office.
