Willis to Continue Leading Trump Election Case Despite Affair Allegations

Georgia prosecutor faces scrutiny over alleged relationship with lead prosecutor, but remains committed to case against former President.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is facing allegations of having an affair with her lead prosecutor, Nathan Wade, in the ongoing election interference case against Donald Trump.
Despite calls for her to recuse herself from the case, Willis has no plans to step down, fearing her departure would effectively end the case against Trump.
Willis and Wade have until Friday to provide written responses to the allegations. A hearing has been scheduled for February 15 for both sides to present evidence related to the allegations.
Georgia lawmakers have voted to form a special committee to investigate Willis, a move not supported by Georgia’s Republican Gov. Brian Kemp.
Despite the allegations, sources inside the DA’s office believe the case against Trump will continue, with Judge Scott McAfee aiming to rule on remaining motions by the end of February.
