The judge overseeing the Georgia election fraud case against former President Donald Trump has called a hearing over accusations District Attorney Fani Willis and her lead prosecutor had an inappropriate relationship.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee scheduled the hearing for Feb. 15 – and set a deadline for Willis to respond to the allegations by Feb. 2, the Washington Post reported, citing a court order.
The accusation Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade allegedly had an inappropriate relationship was made last week in a filing from Trump co-defendant Mike Roman.
Roman, who served as Trump’s director of Election Day operations in 2020, called for the judge to disqualify the entire prosecution team.
“…The District Attorney chose to appoint her romantic partner, who at all times relevant to this prosecution has been a married man,” the filing claimed.
