Trump says 'Lovebirds' Fani Willis and alleged romantic partner owe him damages

In a series of posts on Truth Social Friday, former President Donald Trump slammed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is prosecuting the Georgia election racketeering case, and highlighted the accusations from an attorney of one of his co-defendants that she hired a special prosecutor with whom she was romantically involved.

"WOW! Just released Credit Card records (showing a small sample only) irrefutably prove that Fulton County, Georgia (Crime-ridden Atlanta) D.A. Fani Willis colluded with her Boyfriend/Lover to wrongfully target me in order to ENRICH themselves, and to live the Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous!" wrote Trump. "Cruises, Wineries, Shopping, and so much more - paid for with money they got by persecuting me and other honorable American Patriots!"

"The Lovers knew that I did nothing wrong, that the phone calls were PERFECT, and that the 2020 Presidential Election in Georgia, and many other crucial States, was Rigged and Stolen," Trump continued. "But, they saw Dollar Signs, Fancy Living, and Fame, so, together, they concocted a Fake Indictment targeting me, because they knew that the Witch Hunt would pay more than for anyone else in the Country. Now, they have been exposed. The Hoax has to be Totally and Completely DISMISSED, and the Lovebirds should face appropriate consequences. I, and many other Good Citizens of our Nation, are owed damages for the Dishonest Turmoil and Fraud we have been forced to endure."

Hiring Nathan Wade, the prosecutor in question, would not have been a conflict of interest in and of itself, since both of them are in a role prosecuting the same case. Additionally, the records to which Trump is referring, from Wade's divorce filing, show that Wade spent his personal money to take trips with Willis, not that Willis used taxpayer money to do the reverse. However, some records appear to show Wade was paid more than other special prosecutors in the office.

Willis has defended hiring Wade, who doesn't have much experience trying criminal cases but has worked as a municipal judge and defense attorney.

Georgia State law professor Anthony Michael Kreis has said that, while the newly revealed financial records could be an optical embarassment and a political liability for Willis, it does not indicate any misconduct that would relate directly to, or jeopardize, the criminal case filed against the former president.
