Fulton County DA Fani Willis Subpoenaed For Alleged Misconduct: Reports
HuffPost
The Georgia prosecutor charged Donald Trump and over a dozen others with election interference last year.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been subpoenaed to testify at a Feb. 15 hearing alongside Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor she hired to help investigate former President Donald Trump, according to multiple reports.
Willis and Wade are scheduled to answer questions about an allegedly improper personal relationship, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution was first to report.
It remains unclear how truthful the claims about their relationship are. Willis has not publicly denied the allegations; she has instead defended her decision to hire three special prosecutors, including Wade.
The district attorney charged Trump last year with interfering in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia alongside more than a dozen other defendants.
She has been embroiled in questions about Wade after the accusation of impropriety was lobbed in early January by an attorney for one of the co-defendants, Michael Roman, who wants the case dismissed. Roman was a onetime presidential aide who helped lead Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign.
