Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is accused of having an inappropriate romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and a special prosecutor she hired for the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump have been issued subpoenas by a defence attorney who has alleged Willis and the prosecutor had an inappropriate romantic relationship.
Ashleigh Merchant, the lawyer representing Trump's co-defendant Michael Roman, filed the motion seeking to dismiss the indictment and to remove Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade from the case.
The presiding judge of the election case, has ordered Willis' team to respond by Friday to the motion and to remove Willis from the prosecution.
He has set a hearing on the matter for February 15 where its expected that both Willis and Wade will testify at that hearing.
Neither Willis nor Wade has publicly addressed the allegations of an inappropriate relationship.
Willis' office has repeatedly said a response to Roman's motion will come in a court filing.
