Big Fani Willis, the Fulton County District Attorney in Georgia, had a booty-ful relationship with the prosecutor she brought on to file criminal charges against former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants. One of the co-defendants, former Trump campaign staff member Michael Roman, filed a motion seeking dismissal on the grounds that Willis has had an improper romantic relationship with the prosecutor she put on the case.
Since January 2022, that prosecutor, Nathan Wade. has received $654,000 in taxpayer money to handle the case for Willis in Fulton County, the home seat of Atlanta. Over that same time, he has used the money to pay for lavish vacations to Napa Valley, Florida and elsewhere he took with Big Fani, says Charlie Kirk, a GOP pundit. Willis directly authorized the payments, which Michael Roman called “an act to defraud the public of honest services.”
“Willis has benefitted substantially and directly, and continues to benefit, from this litigation because Wade is being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to prosecute this case on her behalf,” the Michael Roman motion claims. “In turn, Wade is taking Willis on, and paying for vacations across the world with money he is being paid by the Fulton County taxpayers and authorized solely by Willis.”
Big Fani has 30 days to respond to the filing. Here’s more from Atlanta News First.
