Georgia district attorney in ‘romantic relationship’ with prosecutor, Trump co-defendant alleges

Attorney for Michael Roman, an ex-staffer for the former president, claims Fani Willis ‘continues to benefit’ from litigation

One of Donald Trump’s co-defendants in his Georgia election interference case has alleged that Fani Willis – the district attorney leading the proceeding – has been “engaged in a personal, romantic relationship” with one of the top prosecutors she brought in for the case.

In a court filing seeking to have charges against him dismissed, an attorney for Michael Roman – an ex-staffer of the former president – has accused Willis of intentionally failing to disclose a relationship with the prosecutor, Nathan Wade, and personally benefiting from his appointment to the case.
