Fulton County District Attorney Fanni Willis will appear before a Judge today in Georgia to potentially face disqualification from prosecuting former President Donald Trump in her RICO case due to an inappropriate sexual relationship she engaged in with Nathan Wade, the prosecuting attorney that Willis hired to oversee the case against Trump.
It has been reported that Nathan Wade has raked in over $643,000 in taxpayer funds over the last two years. It has also been reported that other attorneys in the State of Georgia were perplexed by Willis’ choice of Wade for the Trump case, highlighting the questionable nature of the relationship between Wade and Willis.
The Judge presiding over the case against Willis is Judge Scott McAfee, who said Monday that it is entirely possible that Willis may be disqualified from the case against former President Trump because of her conflict of interest with Nathan Wade. Judge McAfee can quoted as saying on Monday,
“I think it’s clear that disqualification can occur if evidence is produced demonstrating an actual conflict or the appearance of one,” Judge McAfee said in Monday’s hearing. “The state has admitted a relationship existed. And so what remains to be proven is the existence and extent of any financial benefit, again if there even was one. And so because I think its possible that the facts alleged by the defendant could result in disqualification, I think an evidentiary hearing must occur to establish the record on those core allegations.”
“I think the issues at point here are whether a relationship existed, whether that relationship was romantic or non-romantic in nature, when it formed, and whether it continues. And that’s only relevant because it’s in combination with the question of the existence and extent of any personal benefit conveyed as a result of their relationship”
Trump co-defendant Michael Roman, who is also being charged in the RICO case brought by Fanni Willis, will be presenting evidence in court today that Willis and Wade are, “intentionally withholding information,” in the case. There is a possibility that Willis herself will have to testify today.
Judge McAfee said that the issue ‘at point’ in this case is, “whether a relationship existed, whether that relationship was romantic or non-romantic in nature, when it formed and whether it continues. And that’s only relevant because it’s in combination with the question of the existence and extent of any personal benefit conveyed as a result of their relationship.”
