DA Fannie Willis facing disqualification amid allegations of improper relationship

Fulton County DA Fannie Willis is attempting to avoid testifying in a divorce case.

In a new legal development, Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis is seeking to quash a subpoena requesting her testimony in the divorce proceedings of Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor hired to manage the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump and his supporters. Wade is alleged to have had a romantic relationship with Willis, sparking concerns about a potential conflict of interest. The ongoing legal battle threatens to derail the case against Trump and his co-defendants.

Willis has filed court papers arguing that her testimony is irrelevant and should not be required. Meanwhile, documents submitted by Wade's wife in court reveal credit card receipts allegedly showing that Wade purchased airline tickets for Willis to join him on two out-of-state trips, to Miami and San Francisco in April 2023. These receipts are being presented as evidence of a romantic relationship between the two.
