The judge overseeing the Georgia election fraud case against former President Donald Trump has called a hearing over accusations that District Attorney Fani Willis and her lead prosecutor had an inappropriate relationship.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee scheduled a hearing for Feb. 15 – and set a deadline for Willis to respond to allegations by Feb. 2 that she had an inappropriate relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, according to a brief order from Thursday.
On the same day, her legal team also made a filing in the divorce case of the prosecutor, Nathan Wade, where she attempted to get out of sitting for a grilling by his ex-wife, who has been seeking to depose Willis.
Roman, who served as Trump’s director of Election Day operations in 2020, called for the judge to disqualify the entire prosecution team because of the alleged affair.
“…The District Attorney chose to appoint her romantic partner, who at all times relevant to this prosecution has been a married man,” Roman claimed in court papers.
