Controversy Surrounding Georgia Prosecutors Threatens Case Against Trump

Allegations of an improper relationship between prosecutors could undermine public confidence in the ongoing election-interference case.

Allegations of an inappropriate relationship between Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis and lead prosecutor Nathan Wade may have damaged the case against Donald Trump.
Despite no Georgia law requiring either Willis or Wade to be removed from the case, the controversy has been used by Trump as a new line of attack on the validity of the Georgia case.
Norm Eisen, a longtime Willis ally, suggests that while there is no legal basis to disqualify either prosecutor, Wade should voluntarily step away from the case to avoid further delays.
Trump co-defendant, Michael Roman, alleged that Willis and Wade have been in an “improper, clandestine personal relationship,” and that Willis may have broken the law by hiring Wade as a special prosecutor and then allowing him to pay for “vacations across the world” with her.
Willis has been subpoenaed to appear in court as part of Wade's divorce case.
