LIVE UPDATES: Fani Willis Misconduct Hearing Continues Into Second Day

The evidentiary hearing on the personal relationship between Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Nathan Wade continued into a second day.

Mr. Wade is the  special prosecutor she appointed to take the lead in the racketeering case that accuses former President Donald Trump and 14 others of an alleged criminal conspiracy in their actions to challenge the 2020 election.

Both testified on the first day. The defense would have to show a conflict of interest and financial benefit for Ms. Willis to warrant her disqualification from the prosecution.

Ashleigh Merchant, defense attorney for Michael Roman, is taking the lead in questioning for the defense, as the motion to disqualify originated from information she obtained and made public in a court filing.

Anna Cross, an attorney Ms. Willis had contracted alongside Mr. Wade, is leading the questioning for the district attorney’s office.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee presided over the hearing and is not expected to rule on the motion today.

Willis Done Testifying

Ms. Cross intended to call Ms. Willis as the state’s first witness, but Friday morning said they no longer had questions for her.
