Embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Wills paid prosecutor boyfriend Nathan Wade almost double the salary of his colleagues and met Kamala Harris before she indicted Donald Trump, a defense lawyer claimed in explosive testimony on Wednesday.
Ashley Merchant, who first came forward with stunning allegations of the affair Willis had with a special prosecutor Wade, testified to a Georgia state Senate hearing as a judge considered whether to disqualify Willis from the Trump case.
The attorney for Trump co-defendant Michael Roman said Wade got more than $650,000 in billing from Willis and left little information in his invoices, and that Willis 'is the one that approves the bills.'
She also testified about the 12,000 text messages Wade and Willis exchanged before they claim they started their relationship.
Willis is facing being kicked off the Trump trial over allegations that she started dating Wade before she hired him to investigate the former president.
The DA has denied the relationship was improper, and is now waiting for Judge Scott McAfee's decision on whether she will be disqualified.
