Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp Says Trump Case ‘Has Gotten Even More Political’
HuffPost
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ romance with a top prosecutor in the case has come under intense scrutiny.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) on Tuesday said the case Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis brought against former President Donald Trump and 18 others over their efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the state is “even more political now” following the attention Willis’ relationship with a top prosecutor has garnered.
Willis recently admitted to having a romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, whom she hired as a prosecutor in the case, after one of the defendants, Michael Roman, a lawyer who previously worked for Trump’s campaign, raised allegations about the two of them being together.
Willis has fiercely pushed back against accusations that her romance with Wade presented a conflict of interest in the case and claimed the two started dating after she hired him and that their relationship ended last summer.
In an interview with NewsNation, Kemp said while he can’t say much on the subject, given Willis subpoenaed him for testimony, the latest allegations have further politicized the case.
“It’s hard to believe that a process that I think many people, including myself, believe is very political, regardless of the merits behind the case, has gotten even more political now because of her actions and those of Mr. Wade and others,” Kemp said, according to The Hill.
