Fulton County D.A. under investigation over alleged ethical misconduct

Fulton County Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade speaks during a hearing in Superior Court of Fulton County, in Atlanta

Fulton County District Attorney, Fannie Willis, is facing mounting pressure as calls for her impeachment grow louder over allegations of a romantic relationship with the special prosecutor in the Georgia election interference case, Nathan Wade.
