Georgia judge schedules hearing for Fani Willis misconduct claims
Georgia Judge Orders Hearing on Allegations of Inappropriate Relationship by District Attorney
A Georgia judge has taken action on allegations that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a prosecutor assigned to the 2020 Georgia election case against former President Donald Trump. The judge has ordered a hearing to address these serious accusations.
According to the claims, Willis and private lawyer Nathan Wade, who was appointed by Willis to work on the Trump case, went on extravagant vacations together while Wade received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Willis’ office. It is alleged that a romantic relationship exists between Willis and Wade, despite Wade’s lack of experience in prosecution.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has instructed Willis to respond in writing to the allegations by February 2 and has scheduled a hearing on the matter for February 15, as reported by the Washington Post.
The allegations against Willis were brought forward by former Trump campaign aide Mike Roman, who argued in a court filing that the charges against him should be dismissed and that Wade should not be involved in the case.
Wade has reportedly received over $650,000 from the Fulton County DA’s office since January 2022. Additionally, Willis is accused of misleading county officials to secure extra funds for Wade and potentially violating state law by not seeking the county’s approval to hire him, as required by Georgia law.

Willis has suggested that the accusations against her are racially motivated, stating, “They only attacked one… But no God, isn’t it them that’s playing the race card when they only question one.” She also emphasized her extensive experience in the field, questioning why outsiders feel the need to interfere in her work.
House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) is also conducting an investigation into Wade’s connections with Willis and the White House. Wade reportedly had multiple meetings with Democrats in Washington, D.C., including the Democrat-run January 6 Committee and at the White House prior to the initiation of the Georgia election case against Trump.
