Michael Roman, Trump’s co-defendant, accused Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade of having an improper relationship and misusing funds.Fulton County, GA, District Attorney Fani Willis has a hearing over allegations of an improper relationship with Nathan Wade, her lead prosecutor.
Willis charged former President Donald Trump with interfering with the 2020 election.
Willis hired Wade to prosecute Trump
Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, the judge overseeing the case, scheduled a hearing on February 15.
McAfee also ordered Willis to have a written response for the court by February 2.
Michael Roman, Trump’s co-defendant, accused Willis and Wade of an improper relationship while Wade was still married to his wife and before Willis hired him as a special prosecutor.
At the time of his hiring, Wade didn’t have much prosecutorial experience regarding criminal cases.
Roman claimed “that the entire prosecution is invalid and unconstitutional because the Fulton County district attorney never had legal authority to appoint the special prosecutor, who assisted in obtaining both grand jury indictments.”
The complaint continued:
As a result, both indictments contain structural errors and irreparable defects and should be dismissed in their entirety as to Mr. Roman. Mr. Roman also moves the Court for an order disqualifying the district attorney, her office, and the special prosecutor from further prosecuting the instant matter on the grounds that the district attorney and the special prosecutor have been engaged in an improper, clandestine personal relationship during the pendency of this case, which has resulted in the special prosecutor, and, in turn, the district attorney, profiting significantly from this prosecution at the expense of the taxpayers.
