Senator demands case dropped amid inappropriate relationship allegations against prosecutor

Prosecution driven by personal profit

The Georgia state senator representing North Fulton County is calling for the dismissal of the case against former President Donald Trump, citing an alleged inappropriate relationship between Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis and a special prosecutor appointed to the case. The senator claims that this relationship has led to fraud against the court and the taxpayers of Georgia.

According to the senator, the special prosecutor, identified as Mr. Wade, and Ms. Willis have had a long-term relationship predating their involvement in the case. He alleges that Ms. Willis hired Mr. Wade the day after he filed for divorce, and together, they prolonged the proceedings to increase billable hours. It is claimed that Mr. Wade has billed the taxpayers of Georgia a staggering $654,000 thus far. The senator also raises concerns about the alleged use of taxpayer dollars for lavish trips, including visits to Napa Valley, Miami, and a Caribbean cruise. Moreover, it is alleged that Ms. Willis took her security detail along on these trips, further adding to taxpayer expenses.
