In an effort to have the seven charges in connection to the election interference case against him dropped, former President Donald Trump’s co-defendant Michael Roman filed a motion to disqualify in court on Monday.
Roman alleges Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was in a relationship with attorney Nathan Wade prior to his hiring as a special prosecutor in the Georgia election interference case. Willis and Wade allegedly traveled together during trips to Napa Valley, Florida, and on a Caribbean cruise.
The documents filed by Roman show Wade was paid $654,000, and Wade met with Biden’s White House Counsel for eight hours on May 23, 2022, and interviewed with the White House for another eight hours on November 18, 2022.
Pallavi Bailey, a spokeswoman for Willis, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that response to the allegations would occur through “appropriate court filings.”
