A top prosecutor on Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis’ criminal election case against Donald Trump said Friday they developed a “personal relationship” after he joined her team — but both he and Willis denied that caused a conflict of interest.
The prosecutor, Nathan Wade, in a sworn affidavit also denied allegations that he or Willis have financially benefited from the romantic relationship.
Willis in the same Fulton County court filing rejected accusations from one of Trump’s co-defendants that the relationship constitutes a disqualifying conflict of interest.
