Fani Willis Could Face Congressional Subpoena Amid Allegations and Political Maneuvering
As Georgia House advances bill potentially targeting Willis, allegations of misconduct and improper relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade surface.
- Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis could face a congressional subpoena after a lawyer assisting her in the Georgia election interference case met with White House officials.
- The lawyer, special prosecutor Nathan Wade, is part of Willis' team that brought a case against Donald Trump alleging he was engaged in attempts to overturn the presidential election.
- One of Trump's co-defendants, Michael Roman, alleges Willis never had the authority to appoint Wade, and that the two personally benefitted from an alleged affair.
- Georgia House members passed a bill to revive a commission with powers to discipline and remove prosecutors, a move Democrats warn is aimed at disrupting Willis’ prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
- A filing in Wade’s divorce case includes credit card statements that show Wade bought plane tickets for him and Willis to travel to Miami and San Francisco after he had been hired as a special prosecutor.
