A state judge overseeing the election-interference case against former president Donald Trump in Georgia has scheduled a hearing for Feb. 15 to hear evidence regarding accusations that Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis (D) and her lead prosecutor engaged in an improper relationship and mishandled public money.
Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee also wrote in his order that Willis must respond to the accusations in writing by Feb. 2. They first came to light last week in a filing from one of Trump’s co-defendants, former campaign aide Mike Roman. The order was obtained by The Washington Post and has since appeared on the case docket.
Willis has declined to directly address the explosive accusations. McAfee’s order appears to be forcing her to do so in televised court proceedings, a development that could at least be embarrassing for the district attorney and at worst derail the investigation completely.
In his filing, Roman called for Willis and the lead prosecutor, Nathan Wade, to be removed from the case, and also for the charges to be dismissed against Trump and 14 co-remaining defendants. A spokesman for Willis on Thursday repeated the only statement the office has issued on the allegations so far — that “we will respond in court.”
How stupid was Jenna Ellis and Sydney Powell to plead guilty.
something "off" about Sydney Powell..
kinda like Hillary Clinton. you don't like her, but you aren't sure precisely why
I thought it was to much of an ex wife vibe ,for me anyway.
