Former Trump Campaign Official Accuses Fani Willis Of ‘Improper Relationship’ With Trump Prosecutor

Former Trump campaign official, Michael Roman, filed a motion accusing Fulton County district attorney, Fani Willis, of having an improper relationship with Trump special prosecutor Nathan Wade:

District Attorney Fani Willis improperly hired an alleged romantic partner to prosecute Donald Trump and financially benefited from their relationship, according to a court motion filed Monday which argued the criminal charges in the case were unconstitutional.

The bombshell public filing alleged that special prosecutor Nathan Wade, a private attorney, paid for lavish vacations he took with Willis using the Fulton County funds his law firm received. County records show that Wade, who has played a prominent role in the election interference case, has been paid nearly $654,000 in legal fees since January 2022. The DA authorizes his compensation.

The document offers no concrete proof of the romantic ties between Willis and Wade, but says “sources close to both the special prosecutor and the district attorney have confirmed they had an ongoing, personal relationship.”

The filing alleged Wade, a private attorney, began a romantic relationship with Willis before he was appointed special prosecutor. Ms. Willis has allegedly paid Wade nearly $700,000 in legal that he used to take Willis on trips to Napa Valley, Florida and on a Royal Caribbean cruise. How Roman’s lawyers got access to this information without having documentation of said purchases is somewhat of mystery. It makes the Shock Exchange wonder whether Willis or Wade has a snitch in his or her respective camps.

Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade have a right to enjoy themselves outside of work, and to live their lives freely with whomever they choose. However, it does raise issues of conflict of interest. Did Willis hire Wade for his competence and credentials or for some other reason? The Atlanta Journal-Constitution raised the issue that Wade’s appointment was “not approved by the Fulton board of commissioners as required by law.” The motion also pointed out that Wade had never prosecuted a felony case before.

Whether these conflict of interest allegations will impact the prosecution of Roman or ultimately, former president Donald Trump remains to be seen. For Trump, even if it could derail or delay the process it could be a win. Trump is battling lawsuits on several fronts. The Supreme Court will hear whether Trump can run for federal office after being accused of inciting the January 6th riots. Colorado secretary of state Jena Griswold was forced to put Trump back on the ballot. If Trump can survive the insurrectionist allegations and delay an investigation for election fraud into next year, he may be President before Willis and Wade can bring charges against him. By that time Trump will be able to pardon himself.
