The judge overseeing the Georgia election case against Donald Trump has set a hearing over allegations Fani Willis had an improper relationship with a prosecutor.
The Fulton County judge overseeing the Georgia election interference case against Donald Trump has set a hearing to hear evidence over allegations from one of the co-defendants in the case that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was having an improper relationship with a prosecutor she brought in for the case.
The hearing is set for Feb. 15 in Atlanta.
The hearing order comes before the Fulton County DA's office has filed any response to the allegations. The judge's order directs the DA's office to respond by Feb. 2.
Michael Roman, one of former President Donald Trump's co-defendants in the election interference case, is seeking to dismiss the indictment against him and disqualify Willis, alleging she "engaged in a personal, romantic relationship" with one of the top prosecutors she brought in to work on the case, which allegedly resulted in financial gain for both of them.
