The judge presiding over Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis’ election case against former President Donald Trump and more than a dozen co-defendants is warning her she could be “disqualified” over an alleged improper relationship with a special prosecutor she hired to assist.
Willis faced allegations of engaging in an “improper” relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom she appointed to assist in prosecuting Trump in a broad racketeering case linked to the 2020 election.
Michael Roman, a co-defendant of Trump, made the initial accusations and argued that Willis’ alleged behavior called for her disqualification and the removal of her team from the case.
Willis, who admitted to a personal relationship with Wade but denied any conflict of interest, asked the court to cancel the evidentiary hearing slated for later this week, Fox News reported.
