There are calls for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to be disqualified from Donald Trump's Georgia election-interference case, following unsubstantiated allegations she has been involved in a romantic relationship with Nathan Wade. He was hired as a special prosecutor for the proceedings.
The claim was made by Michael Roman, one of Trump's co-defendants, in a legal motion filed on Monday. It seeks to have his seven charges dismissed and Willis and her staff members disqualified from the case. Newsweek reached out to the Fulton County District Attorney's office and representatives of Trump for comment by email on Tuesday.
In August 2023, Trump and 18 others were indicted in Georgia over claims they broke the law while attempting to overturn Joe Biden's 2020 presidential election victory in the state. The former president is facing 13 criminal charges in Georgia including an accusation that he violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, initially introduced to combat organized crime. Trump has pled not guilty to all counts and has repeatedly said that the case against him is politically motivated.
Reacting on his Truth Social website, Trump called for all the charges in the Georgia case to be dropped following the allegations against Willis.
The former president wrote: "ALL CHARGES AGAINST ME, AND OTHERS, SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY DROPPED, WITH APOLOGIES, AND MONETARY DAMAGES FOR THE ILLEGAL AND HIGHLY POLITICAL PERSECUTION OF INNOCENT PEOPLE."
Writing on microblogging website Threads, defense attorney and legal commentator Ken White said the allegations against Willis are "potentially catastrophic for the Fulton County case." Any collapse of the Georgia case would be a major win for Trump, who, polling indicates, is by some margin the lead Republican candidate for the party's 2024 presidential nomination.

That’s what passes for journalism these days.............
sowing and reaping...
wind and whirlwind...
laws of nature. designed by God.
not really “alterable” and not easily “politicized.”
Yeah, I remember a 5-minute radio news report (CBS) between segments of Rush's show. During the Clinton impeachment debacle, a lower court had just ruled in Clinton's favor (later overturned by the Supremes). The report was factual, but they inserted just one word that changed everything...that word was "fortunately". A quick lesson learned and never forgotten.
Fani Willis is Black and a dyed in the wool raqcist.
Disbar her.
Disqualified? How about charged with fraud and sent to prison. What am I missing here? National Socialists don’t get charged, only Conservatives? Hmmm?
On her OnlyFani webpage?
Actually, the allegations are that Fani illegally hired her boyfriend to a job that he is not qualified for without the necessary approval and that she has been paying him vastly inflated rates. And that he has been kicking back money to her in the form of vacations and travel on cruise ships between them from the proceeds of the legal payments.
In a case related to the persecution of the President of the United States.
Mean, dumb and greedy is no way to go through life. And he was Fani’s “mentor”
One saving grace here is that these people are too arrogant, stupid and lazy to execute a proper conspiracy.
“unsubstantiated”? LOL and Haha. And WTF?
Not only disqualified should be disbarred.
Democrats get Trump plan getting more exposed by the day.
OBAMA CAN GET ANY DIVORCE RECORDS UNSEALED, APPARENTLY-—
THAT IS HOW HE BECAME Senator from Illinois.
yet another weirdly balanced article from Newsweak, the author seems neutral at best. Well, anyways, Red Diaper Baby Fanni is corrupt as the day is long, screw her double privilege, she needs to be disbarred over this.
This is from Wade & Campbell law firm website:
“Whether you are in need of representation after a major car accident or are going through a change in your personal life that requires representation with a family law issue; whether you have a contract dispute, or whether you are involved in any type of civil litigation, Nathan J. Wade will be a zealous advocate for you.”
Sounds like a real strong constitutional lawyer to take on election integrity trial against former President. Wow!
This amounts to nothing more than a plea to replace Willis as Trump’s prosecutor. I’m sorry that you leftists were stoopid enough to place all of your hopes in the basket of a morally compromised prosecutor, but you did. Now your case rests on her hypocrisy, and you’re stuck with it. This case would not exist except for the likes of such a person.

In any other fair American jurisdiction when a prosecutor gets caught in prosecutorial misconduct the prosecutor gets faced with an onslaught of sometimes hundreds of prisoners whom the prosecutor convicted by relying on tainted evidence or unfair standards. It usually leads to the case being thrown out of court and the prosecutor’s removal from office.
