Staff members under Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis have reportedly stepped forward amid an ongoing investigation into alleged financial misconduct and a romance scandal involving Atlanta’s top prosecutor.
The state Special Committee on Investigations is examining accusations of misuse of public funds related to Willis’s relationship with attorney Nathan Wade, whom she hired in 2021 to prosecute Donald Trump on criminal counts regarding the 2020 presidential election.
Whistleblowers within the Fulton County DA’s office have raised concerns about the alleged misuse of federal and state funds.
Although their identities remain anonymous, they aim to provide information to the committee. However, the committee lacks authority for disciplinary actions but can issue subpoenas for evidence and testimony.
Willis filed motions to dismiss subpoenas demanding her and her staff’s testimony, citing harassment intended to disrupt the prosecution.
Meanwhile, Trump’s legal team filed briefs accusing Willis of injecting race, religion, and politics into the case. Despite these challenges, a separate panel of legal experts supported Willis, emphasizing her eligibility to prosecute Trump.
