A Georgia state judge is hearing final arguments on Friday on allegations that Fani Willis' 'improper' affair should disqualify her from the case against former President Trump.
A Georgia state judge heard closing arguments Friday on allegations that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' affair with special prosecutor Nathan Wade benefited her financially and should disqualify her from the case against former President Donald Trump. Willis and her office are leading the sweeping racketeering cases against the former president and 18 co-defendants.
Abbate argued against the accusation that Willis hired Wade for financial benefit, because she had asked the court for an expedited trial, meaning that the earlier the trial is scheduled for, the less time she has to reap financial benefits. He also argued that if Willis had a 'scheme' to hire a prosecutor so that she could benefit financially, then it would have to be assumed she was also dating other candidates she considered for the job.
Michael Roman, a GOP political operative and co-defendant in the Trump case, first alleged that Willis had a conflict of interest in the case because she benefited financially from hiring her lover. Four co-defendants have made similar accusations. The defense, led by John Merchant, is also trying to prove Willis and Wade were romantically involved prior to Wade’s employment in the DA’s office.
