"House Judiciary Committee Subpoenas Trump Georgia Case Prosecutor's Colleague Amid Border Deal Vote"

Fani T. Willis, the district attorney prosecuting the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald J. Trump, admitted to a "personal relationship" with a prosecutor she hired for the case but argued that it should not disqualify her or her office. The admission comes after allegations of an "improper, clandestine personal relationship" surfaced in a motion from one of Trump's co-defendants seeking to disqualify both prosecutors and Willis's entire office from handling the case. Willis and the prosecutor, Nathan J. Wade, denied any direct or indirect financial benefit to Willis from their relationship and stated that it began after Wade was hired.
