Judge Scott McAfee suggests possible disqualification of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from Trump’s RICO case due to her connection with top prosecutor Nathan Wade, stating an evidentiary hearing on alleged misconduct is imperative.

During Monday’s hearing, Judge McAfee emphasized the need for an evidentiary session to establish facts regarding the alleged conflict, highlighting the importance of determining the nature and extent of the relationship between Willis and Wade.

Earlier this month, subpoenas were issued to both Fani Willis and Nathan Wade, compelling them to testify at Thursday’s evidentiary hearing, as per a lawsuit filed by Trump’s RICO co-defendant Michael Roman.

A new lawsuit filed by Ashleigh Merchant, attorney for Trump co-defendant Michael Roman, accuses Fani Willis’ office of deliberately withholding information.

The upcoming hearing on February 15 may feature sworn testimony from Willis and Wade, responding to a motion by Roman seeking dismissal of the RICO charge and disqualification of Willis over her alleged romantic involvement with Wade.

Judge McAfee indicated his inclination to permit testimony from witnesses subpoenaed by Michael Roman’s lawsuit, reserving judgment on calling Fani Willis to testify until further into the hearing.

Trump’s RICO co-defendant Michael Roman filed a supplemental reply accusing Fani Willis of lying to the court about her affair with Nathan Wade, alleging financial benefits for Willis from their relationship.

Records suggest Nathan Wade, involved in the election interference case against Trump, incurred substantial legal fees, prompting scrutiny over the use of Fulton County funds for personal expenses, including luxury vacations with Willis.

Willis and Wade claim they did not have a personal, romantic relationship before Willis appointed Wade as a special prosecutor, but Terrence Bradley (“Bradley”) will refute that claim. Bradley is an attorney and a member of the Georgia Bar. Bradley and Wade were friends and business associates. Bradley has non-privileged, personal knowledge that the romantic relationship between Wade and Willis began prior to Willis being sworn as the district attorney for Fulton County, Georgia in January 2021. Thus, Bradley can confirm that Willis contracted with Wade after Wade and Willis began a romantic relationship, thus rebutting Wade’s claim in his affidavit that they did not start dating until 2022,” Michael Roman’s lawyer wrote in the filing reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.

Fani Willis recently acknowledged a sexual relationship with Nathan Wade, the prosecutor she appointed for Trump’s RICO case, sparking further controversy and legal proceedings.
