Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis’s election-meddling case against Donald Trump is unraveling amid allegations she hired her lover to prosecute the former president. It’s precisely the kind of inappropriate affair the Georgia Democrat swore she’d avoid while campaigning for office.
Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis’s election meddling case against Donald Trump is unraveling amid allegations she hired her lover to prosecute the former president.
It’s precisely the kind of inappropriate affair the Georgia Democrat swore she’d avoid while campaigning for office.
„I certainly will not be choosing people to date that work under me. Let me just say that,“ Willis said during an April 2020 appearance on the Patricia Crayton Show, months before she was elected. Willis also claimed in the interview that the public cares little when married men cheat on their wives.
„You know, we are at a place in society where things happen in people’s relationships—husband and wife sometimes there are outside relationships,“ Willis said. „I don’t think that’s what the community is concerned about.“
Willis is allegedly „romantically involved“ with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, a married man with scant experience prosecuting criminal cases whom she appointed in November 2021. Ashleigh Merchant, an attorney for former Trump campaign staffer Michael Roman, made the allegation in a bombshell January 8 legal filing.
