In a recent court filing, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is accused of misleading regarding the timing of her alleged romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade. The allegations were made by Michael Roman, a co-defendant in the Georgia election interference case against former President Trump.

According to Roman's attorney, Ashleigh Merchant, a friend and former business partner of Wade, Georgia attorney Terrence Bradley, will testify that the romantic relationship between Willis and Wade began before Willis was sworn in as district attorney in January 2021. This contradicts the claims made by Willis and Wade, who stated that their personal relationship started after Wade was appointed as a special prosecutor in 2022.

In the court filing, it was stated that Bradley had learned about the affair directly from Wade prior to his decision to file for divorce from his wife of 26 years. The filing also alleges that Wade and Willis regularly stayed together at her home until her father moved in sometime in 2020.

Roman, a Republican operative who worked on Trump's 2020 re-election campaign, has requested the court to disqualify Willis from the election case, claiming that her personal relationship with Wade creates a conflict of interest. Furthermore, Roman's legal filings last month alleged that Wade billed Fulton County for an enormous 24-hour workday in November 2021, shortly after being appointed as special prosecutor.

Additionally, Roman's attorneys claim that Wade spent thousands of dollars on lavish vacations with Willis, including cruises to the Bahamas and Aruba, a New Year's cruise, a trip to Belize, and a Napa Valley getaway.

Willis responded to the allegations in a court filing, admitting to a "personal" relationship with Wade but denying any conflict of interest. She argued that, according to Georgia law, a district attorney can only be forcibly removed from a case if the conflict of interest harms the defendant's case.

These new allegations arise as Willis' office filed a motion seeking to block Roman's subpoenas, requesting Willis, Wade, and others to testify at an upcoming evidentiary hearing. Roman also claims that Willis intentionally made statements to the media in an attempt to enhance her public image and prejudice the jury pool against him. Similar accusations were made by fellow Trump co-defendant David Shafer, accusing Willis of prosecutorial misconduct.

As the legal battle continues, the allegations surrounding Willis and Wade's romantic relationship and its potential impact on the Trump election interference case raise questions about objectivity and fairness in the legal proceedings. The court will evaluate the evidence presented and make a decision on Roman's request to disqualify Willis from the case.
