Trump Co-Defendant Accuses DA Fani Willis Of Improper Romantic Relationship
HuffPost
The former Trump campaign staffer claims Willis financially benefited from a secret romance with a prosecutor she brought on to the case.
One of Donald Trump’s co-defendants in the Georgia election subversion case filed a motion Monday to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the case on the basis of claims she had an improper romantic relationship with a prosecutor she put on the case.
The motion from former Trump campaign staff member Michael Roman accuses Willis of “an act to defraud the public of honest services” because of the alleged secret romantic relationship she had with Nathan Wade, a top prosecutor she brought on to lead the investigation against Trump and his 18 co-defendants in the criminal conspiracy case.
According to Roman’s claims, Willis was romantically linked to Wade before she brought him aboard as part of a “self-serving arrangement” that financially benefited them both.
“Willis has benefitted substantially and directly, and continues to benefit, from this litigation because Wade is being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to prosecute this case on her behalf,” the motion claims. “In turn, Wade is taking Willis on, and paying for vacations across the world with money he is being paid by the Fulton County taxpayers and authorized solely by Willis.”
Roman’s filing provides no concrete evidence of a relationship between Willis and Wade, saying only that “sources close to both [Wade] and the district attorney have confirmed they had an ongoing, personal relationship.”
