Willis Acknowledges ‘Personal Relationship’ With Prosecutor

ATLANTA (AP) — Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in a court filing has acknowledged having a “personal relationship” with a special prosecutor she hired for the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump. But Friday’s court filing argues there are no grounds to dismiss the case or to remove Willis from the prosecution. Willis hired special prosecutor Nathan Wade in November 2021 to assist her investigation into whether Trump and others broke any laws as they tried to overturn the Republican’s loss in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. An attorney for a Trump co-defendant has argued the case should be dismissed due to allegations of their relationship.
