Fulton County DA Fani Willis seeks to quash subpoena amid allegations of improper relationship

A Georgia judge is set to hear arguments over whether to enforce a subpoena issued to Fulton County DA Fani Willis in the divorce proceedings of one of her prosecutors.

A Georgia judge is set to hear arguments on Monday over whether to enforce a subpoena issued to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as part of her top prosecutor's divorce case, which she received amid allegations that she and the prosecutor were involved in an improper relationship while prosecuting the election interference case against former President Donald Trump.

Willis is seeking to quash the subpoena she received from the wife of special prosecutor Nathan Wade, in order to avoid her deposition in the case, which is set for Tuesday.

Willis claims in a court filing that her deposition would be "outside the scope of discovery" in the divorce matter and that it amounts to "attempt to harass and damage her professional reputation."

"The sought after deposition of District Attorney Willis is not relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending action and should not be permitted," the filing from Willis's attorney said.
