Fani Willis Grilled in Court Over Relationship with Special Prosecutor

The Fulton County DA defends her integrity amid allegations that could impact her role in the Trump election fraud case.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis faced intense scrutiny in court over her relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, amid allegations that could affect her role in prosecuting Donald Trump and others for election fraud.
Willis and Wade testified that their romantic involvement began in March 2022, after Wade was appointed to the Trump case, countering claims that their relationship started earlier and was unethical.
The hearing saw heated exchanges between Willis and defense attorneys, with Willis asserting her integrity and challenging accusations of misconduct.
Judge Scott McAfee has yet to make a decision on whether Willis should be disqualified from the case, with further testimony expected.
The controversy has attracted significant attention, including from Donald Trump, who labeled the Fulton County case a 'scam' and criticized the proceedings.
