Fani Willis Faces Allegations of Improper Relationship Amid Trump Case

Despite Accusations, Legal Analysts Say Willis' Alleged Relationship with Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade Does Not Disqualify Her from Leading the Case

Allegations have surfaced that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had a relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom she appointed to lead the election interference case against former President Donald Trump.
Willis is accused of overpaying Wade and benefiting from the relationship in the form of lavish vacations, allegedly paid for by Wade's salary.
Despite the allegations, legal analysts argue that even if the allegations are true, they would not disqualify Willis from leading the case or require dismissal of the indictment against Trump.
Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has scheduled a hearing on the accusations for February 15 and Willis must submit a written response by February 2.
Willis has not confirmed or denied the claim, but suggested she and Wade are being scrutinized because they are Black.
