Fani Willis Accused of Misconduct in Trump Case Alleged Improper Relationship

In this video, I will tell you the latest news and report from the New York Times’ Richard Fausset on the allegations against Fani Willis, the Georgia prosecutor who is leading the case against former President Trump for election interference. Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, is facing accusations of having an improper relationship and financial misconduct with Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor she hired to assist her in the Trump case. The allegations were made by Michael Roman, a co-defendant in the case and a seasoned Republican operative, who filed a motion earlier this month seeking the disqualification of Willis and Wade from the case. Roman claimed that Willis and Wade were in a romantic relationship and that Wade used some of the more than $650,000 he earned from his work for Willis to pay for vacations for the two of them. Bank records made public last week showed Wade had paid for tickets for himself and Willis to California in 2023 and Miami in 2022. Neither Willis nor Wade has confirmed or denied the allegations yet, and Willis has said she will respond in a court filing due on Wednesday. A hearing on the motion is set for February 15, where the judge will decide whether to disqualify Willis and Wade based on the evidence presented. The allegations have cast a shadow over the high-profile case against Trump, who is facing 13 counts of racketeering for his attempts to interfere with Georgia’s election results and pressure the secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, to “find” enough votes to overturn his defeat in 2020. The case is seen as one of the strongest efforts to hold Trump accountable for his actions that threatened the integrity of American democracy and the rule of law.
