GOP allegations against Fani Willis are about to get their own hearing: report

A state judge in Georgia is scheduling a hearing to investigate the new affair allegations about Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade, The Messengerreported on Friday.

"Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee said at a wide-ranging hearing Friday that allegations of impropriety made in a recent filing by Mike Roman, a co-defendant in the case, will be discussed in mid- to late-February," reported Alessandro Marazzi Sassoon and Steve Reilly. "Roman, former President Donald Trump, and the 13 other remaining co-defendants have all pleaded not guilty to all charges."

Roman's legal team has claimed that "sources close to both the special prosecutor and the district attorney" say Willis and Wade "have been engaged in an improper, clandestine personal relationship," and have improperly used funds for the case to pay for vacations, although the attorneys have not so far provided any public evidence to support the allegations.

McAfee is broadly presiding over the election racketeering trial brought by Willis, which treats the plot to overturn the 2020 presidential election as effectively an organized crime operation under Georgia's expansive RICO laws.

Already, three pro-Trump attorneys — Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, and Kenneth Chesebro — as well as bail bondsman Scott Hall, have pleaded guilty in the case.

Republican lawmakers have separately sought information in the case, with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) demanding Wade hand over documents.
