Georgia Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee will consider allegations of misconduct against Fani Willis. The prosecutor is due to appear on February 15 after she was accused of having a "romantic relationship" with special prosecutor Nathan Walles before hiring him in the case against Donald Trump. In addition, the judge ordered Willis to respond to the accusations before February 2.
Michael Roman was the first person to report the controversial relationship. The co-defendant in the Trump case recently revealed this "romantic relationship," asking that both Willis and Walles and the prosecutor's office be disqualified and prevented from continuing with the process. According to the lawyers at that time, Willis and Wade "have been engaged in an improper, clandestine personal relationship during the pendency of this case, which has resulted in the special prosecutor, and, in turn, the district attorney, profiting significantly from this prosecution at the expense of the taxpayers."
Fani Willis is in serious trouble for her alleged "romantic relationship"
The accusation is not the only thing prosecutor Fani Willis is dealing with. Just the News recalls that, after learning of the alleged "romantic relationship," Willis began to get requests from several defendants asking her to resign from the Trump case. She also faces a criminal referral filed with the state and an investigation by the House Judiciary Committee into her alleged misconduct. The House of Representatives will also look into Willis's alleged lover, special prosecutor Nathan Wade, for his conduct.
Fani Willis avoided talking to the media. However, a spokesperson for the district attorney's office recently claimed that the prosecutor will respond to the accusations in writing. This must be done before February 2, according to Judge McAfee and that will be part of the evidence presented during the hearing that will take place on February 15.
