Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been accused of hiring a private attorney with whom she had a “romantic” relationship to prosecute Donald Trump, according to a stunning filing from one of the former president's co-defendants.

The charges are included in a filing by Michael Roman, a former Trump campaign official who is accused of taking part in the “fake voter” scheme as one of 18 people charged along with Trump in the state.

The state court filing, which calls for charges against him to be dropped, alleges that Willis had a personal relationship with private attorney Nathan Wade, who was paid more than $600,000 as a special prosecutor in support of her office's sweeping investigation into the Trump's attempts to overturn the election.

The filing provides no documentary evidence of the allegations. It says that “sources close to both the special counsel and the district attorney confirmed that they had an ongoing, personal relationship.”

The filing refers to a sealed divorce petition for the married special prosecutor, but then proceeds to file the claim based on other information.

It states that “information obtained outside the court records indicates that the District Attorney and the Special Prosecutor have personally traveled together to places such as Napa Valley, Florida and the Caribbean and that the Special Prosecutor has purchased tickets for both of them to meet with both the Norwegian and Royal Carbibean cruise lines. Traveling together to places like Washington, DC or New York City may make sense for work purposes in light of other pending lawsuits, but what work purpose can be served solely by traveling to these traditional vacation destinations?”

It says the prosecutor and Wade “have been seen together privately in and around the Atlanta area” and that “it is suspected that they may have been living together in some capacity.”

It further states that there is “no evidence” that Willis was “authorized” by the county to use money to detain Wade for the case.

Roman was charged this summer with alleged crimes including participating in a racketeering conspiracy, conspiracy to commit forgery and conspiracy to file false documents, all in connection with a scheme to recruit fake Republican electors who would cast votes for Trump instead of electors , to submit to the elections. reflect Joe Biden's certified victory in the state.
