NEW: Fani Willis, ‘lover’ Nathan Wade subpoenaed to testify in disqualification hearing
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade have been subpoenaed to testify at a hearing on February 15 concerning petitions to disqualify them from the 2020 Georgia election conspiracy case involving former President Donald J. Trump and his allies, according to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday.
The lawsuit, filed by lawyer Ashleigh Merchant who is representing Trump co-defendant Michael Roman, asserts that the District Attorney’s Office is intentionally withholding information sought in Open Records Act requests in advance of the upcoming hearing, according to AJC Politics. The DA’s Office said in a recent letter that it has complied with state law.
This comes following an explosive corruption scandal that revealed special prosecutor Nathan Wade is DAFani Willis’s alleged secret lover and that Wade had been hired by Willis to secure a prosecution against the former president and his 18 co-defendants, creating a “conflict of interest.”
