Fulton County DA Fani Willis Faces Allegations of Misconduct and Controversy
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is accused of being booked on flights purchased by special prosecutor Nathan Wade, with whom she allegedly had a romantic entanglement. The allegations surfaced in the midst of a divorce case involving Wade's estranged wife, who claims to have evidence of the spending history on a credit card used by Nathan Wade to book flights for himself and Willis. Willis' office plans to respond to the accusations in a filing due on Feb. 2, and a hearing on the matter is set for Feb. 15. The controversy has implications for a case involving former President Donald Trump and others accused of plotting to overturn Georgia's 2020 presidential election results.
