Overview
- A conservative watchdog group has filed ethics complaints against Fani Willis and Nathan Wade, alleging misconduct related to their affair and Willis's use of campaign funds.
- Text messages and testimony raise questions about the timeline of Willis and Wade's relationship, suggesting it began before Willis hired Wade as a special prosecutor in the Trump election fraud case.
- Willis and Wade face potential disqualification from the Trump case if evidence shows an actual conflict of interest or the appearance of one.
- The Georgia state bar has been urged to revoke Willis's license and permanently bar her from practicing law, with a similar request made against Wade.
- Closing arguments in the hearing to determine Willis's eligibility to stay on the case will be heard on Friday, with a decision expected from Judge Scott McAfee.
