The hearing is scheduled for Feb. 15 and Willis has until Feb. 2 to respond in writing
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade are expected to be served subpoenas to testify at a hearing next month over their alleged affair and financial ties, according to a report from CNN .
The hearing will determine whether Willis and Wade should be disqualified from their case against former President Donald Trump for his attempts to subvert the 2020 election due to the allegations against them.
Mike Roman, a co-defendant in Trump’s 19 person indictment, alleged the affair in court documents, where he requested the case against him be dismissed due to conflict of interest. He alleged that Wade took Willis on lavish vacations after she tapped him to lead the Trump case.
“We’ve got a lot of information. We’ve got a lot of documents and a lot of witnesses,” Roman’s defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant told CNN.
Merchant has said that the evidence she presents at the hearing will depend on Willis’s response to the allegations.
