The judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s Georgia election interference case told the court Monday that the allegations brought against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis “could result in disqualification.”
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee reportedly said made the statement during a hearing on whether Willis and prosecutor Nathan Wade would have to testify Thursday about their romantic relationship.
Willis and Wade were subpoenaed to testify at that hearing by Michael Roman, a Trump co-defendant in the Georgia election case. Last month, Roman’s attorney filed a motion to dismiss the charges against her client and to disqualify Willis because of what she alleged was an improper romantic and financial relationship between the district attorney and her prosecutor, Nathan Wade.
Wade, hired by Willis, was paid nearly $654,000 in legal fees, according to the motion. He sued some of the money for him and Willis to go on vacations.
