Fani Willis hearing struggles to dent Trump prosecutor’s credibility

Trump's co-defendants in Georgia racketeering case over attempts to overturn 2020 election seek to disqualify Fulton county DA

Lawyers for Donald Trump's co-defendants charged over efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia struggled on Friday to undermine the credibility of the Fulton county district attorney and her top deputy, with whom she had a romantic relationship, in order to disqualify them from bringing the case.

The district attorney, Fani Willis, and her deputy, Nathan Wade, both previously testified there was no financial conflict of interest (the defendants alleged Willis hired him to benefit financially) because the relationship started after Wade was retained as a special prosecutor.
