Overview

• 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.
