There's an evidentiary hearing on the motion to disqualify Fani Willis and Nathan Wade on Feb 15.

In light of the new credit card statements for trips and hotels..

If I'm the defense attorney, I'm putting them both under oath.

Wouldn't be shocked if they recuse before then. pic.twitter.com/Jm8PYmZYQ3

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has no plans to step down from the Georgia election subversion case over allegations she's having an affair with her lead prosecutor, a decision driven in part over concern that her departure would effectively end the case against Donald Trump and his multiple defendants, sources familiar with the thinking inside the DA's office told CNN.

The sprawling racketeering case still has no trial date, and Willis and her team are keenly aware that the window to go to trial before the 2024 election is rapidly shrinking. Any change in the team handling the prosecution would likely delay the proceedings, and it's unclear if another prosecutor in Georgia would even be inclined to take up the case, given its political and legal challenges. …
Instead,

Willis is preparing to counter arguments from Trump and other co-defendants, not by necessarily disputing claims about the relationship but by arguing that defense attorneys seeking to remove her are wrong on the law, sources said.

A number of Georgia attorneys have made the same claim that the arrangement may look bad, but it's not illegal. That seems like a very thin reed on which to place one's hopes against an allegation of unethical behavior in a high-profile prosecution. And it looks worse when considering all of the circumstances, not just when cherry-picking individual elements. In the February 15 hearing, Willis will likely have to offer an explanation that covers all of these issues

• The decision to hire Wade for one of the most complex and novel RICO cases in memory despite the fact that he has never prosecuted a felony case in his career before now
• The timing of Wade's divorce, coming the day after Willis hired him
• The timing of their romance in relation to the hiring date and the divorce
• The amount of billing paid to Wade, as well as Willis' personal benefit from it
• Wade's contempt charge in his efforts to hide this income from discovery in his divorce

In a 176-page court filing on Friday, Willis called the claims against her "meritless" and "salacious." She asked a judge to reject motions from Trump and other co-defendants that seek to disqualify her and her office from the case and to do so without a hearing. Willis denied claims of misconduct and said there was no evidence that the relationship between her and special prosecutor Nathan Wade had prejudiced the case.

Willis's response came more than three weeks after Mike Roman, one of Trump's remaining 14 co-defendants in the criminal case and a former high-ranking campaign aide during the 2020 election, alleged in a court filing that Willis was engaged in a "personal, romantic relationship" with Wade, whose firm has been paid more than $653,000 by the district attorney's office since he was tapped as an outside prosecutor on the case in November 2021.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, who is overseeing the case, has scheduled a Feb. 15 evidentiary hearing on the allegations. Ashleigh Merchant, Roman's attorney, has said she plans to issue subpoenas for witnesses and documents to back up her client's claims of misconduct. Merchant said in a lawsuit this week that she has subpoenaed Willis and Wade to testify, and she is expected to seek testimony from Wade's current and former law partners and others associated with the district attorney's office.

Until now, neither Willis nor Wade had directly addressed or denied the allegations. Bank records made public as part of Wade's divorce proceedings showed Wade purchased plane tickets for himself and Willis on two occasions a trip to Aruba purchased in October 2022 on American Airlines, and a second trip purchased in April 2023 to San Francisco on Delta Air Lines.

It is unclear if Willis reimbursed Wade for the tickets or went on the trips. A spokesman for Willis has declined to comment. Wade has not responded to requests for comment, and his divorce attorney has declined to comment.

Merchant has told The Washington Post the claims against Willis and Wade were based on sources that she did not name as well as records she said had been disclosed as part of Wade's divorce proceedings but were under seal. While some documents from the divorce were subsequently made public, discovery materials were not, including Wade's bank statements and subpoenaed records from the district attorney's office.

Exactly. Even though he had no case literally, no one's been prosecuted for doing the same thing which is contempt of Congress, for not following an issued subpoena.

I wish the house would be more assertive in their duties responsibilities as prescribed by the constitution. We need the peoples branch to be strong.

A Fulton County judge said Monday it's "possible" District Attorney Fani Willis could be disqualified from her case prosecuting former President Donald Trump for election interference due to an alleged personal relationship with a prosecutor on her teamas the landmark case against the former president is snagged by allegations of a conflict of interest.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee said Monday "I think it's possible that the facts alleged by the defendant could result in disqualification" when considering whether to quash a subpoena for Willis and others in her office, after Trump co-defendant Michael Roman pushed for Willis' removal from the case and claimed she had a personal relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade.

McAfee said Monday he would move forward with an evidentiary hearing scheduled for Thursday to hear the accusationssaying it "must occur to establish the record on those core allegations."

McAfee also said he thinks information on whether Willis and Wade had a relationship, whether it was romantic, when it formed and if it continues is relevant to the disqualification inquiry.

Here's what Judge Scott McAfee said about the Fani Willis allegations today. He thinks it's "possible" facts could result in disqualification, key question is whether Willis got "financial benefit" or "personal benefit" from relationship with Nathan Wade.
