Trump Co-Defendant Accuses Georgia Prosecutors of Misconduct

Allegations of improper relationship and financial misconduct raise questions about the integrity of the election-interference case against former President Donald Trump.

Michael Roman, a co-defendant in the Georgia election-interference case against former President Donald Trump, has accused Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis of conducting an improper relationship with the case’s lead prosecutor, Nathan Wade.
Roman alleges that Willis and Wade were romantic partners who profited from the prosecution at the expense of taxpayers, taking vacations together with money Wade earned as a special prosecutor.
Roman's defense attorney, Ashleigh Merchant, claims that the alleged relationship and financial benefits could amount to an act of fraud or an impermissible conflict of interest under Georgia’s rules of professional conduct.
Willis was served with a subpoena in Wade’s ongoing divorce case from his wife, Joycelyn Wade, potentially to testify in the proceedings.
Despite the sensational claims, the filing does not offer concrete evidence to back up the allegations.
