against former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants during the appeal of the ruling that has kept Fulton County DA Fani Willis on the case.Trump and his defendants face charges of trying to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.
Defendant Michael Roman claimed that Willis had a conflict of interest since she had a romantic relationship with then-Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade. HeRoman claimed the relationship began before Wade was hired in November 2021 to work on the case involving Trump, and he sought to have Willis and her office disqualified and the charges dismissed. Trump and seven others joined Roman’s motion claiming the prosecution was invalid and unconstitutional.
Willis and Wade admitted they were romantically involved, but said their relationship began after Wade was brought on to the investigation and ended in the summer of 2023. They both also denied that Willis financially benefited from the relationship and said they split the costs associated with trips they took together.The appellate court just suspended the Georgia case against Trump until after it considers his disqualification appeal on Oct. 4th.
