Joe RaedleFulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has finally admitted she had a personal relationship with a special prosecutor in Donald Trump’s election interference case—but denies claims that the affair tainted the investigation.
In a Friday 176-page court filing, Willis’ office denied any financial conflict of interest that warrants her disqualification from the racketeering case. It also denies having any personal conflict of interest and calls the attacks on special prosecutor Nathan Wade “factually inaccurate, unsupported, and malicious.”
The motion also states that Wade and Willis did not have a personal relationship in Nov. 2021, when he was hired to oversee and investigate claims that Trump and his allies sought to interfere with the 2020 Georgia election. But, in Wade’s affidavit submitted in the filing, the special prosecutor admits, “attorney Willis and I developed a personal relationship in addition to our professional association and friendship.”
