"Trump Election Case Prosecutor Admits Personal Relationship with Fulton County DA"

Fulton County DA Fani Willis acknowledges a personal relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, but argues that it does not constitute a disqualifying conflict of interest in the Trump election interference case. Willis and her office have filed a 176-page response to allegations, stating that the relationship has not corrupted their ability to oversee the case. Trump and co-defendant Michael Roman have sought to get them disqualified, but Willis maintains that there is no financial or personal conflict of interest justifying their disqualification. The filing sets the stage for a Feb. 15 hearing, where Roman has issued subpoenas to Willis and Wade to testify, but they intend to file motions to quash them. The case has also led to intensifying scrutiny and investigations into Willis' conduct.
