Attorney and legal analyst Jonathan Turley warned on Friday that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis could get referred for prosecution by a Georgia court after new evidence was revealed.

Willis, who enlisted the services of prosecutor Nathan Wade in 2021 to spearhead the racketeering case against former President Donald Trump, is facing scrutiny due to a past personal relationship that concluded in the summer of 2023.

Trump, along with 18 co-defendants, is charged with conspiring to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory in Georgia.

The ex-president has entered a plea of not guilty to all charges, asserting that the case is politically driven, particularly in light of his status as the leading candidate for the GOP in the 2024 election.

In a bid to discredit Willis and her legal team and seek the dismissal of his charges, Michael Roman, a former Trump campaign staffer and one of the co-defendants, raised claims of a personal relationship between Willis and Wade in early January. Roman has entered a plea of not guilty in the ongoing case.

Judge Scott McAfee, overseeing the proceedings, conducted a series of hearings last week to assess whether Willis and her office should be disqualified from handling the case, Newsweek reported.

While on the witness stand, Willis was asked if Wade ever visited her home. Willis then erupted, saying, “So let’s be clear ’cause you lied in this” while holding up court documents. “It is a lie! It is a lie!”

Fresh evidence, including an affidavit from a private investigator who scrutinized Wade’s cellphone location data, was presented in a supplemental brief filed by Trump’s lawyers on Friday, urging Judge McAfee to review it.

According to the investigator, the data indicates that in 2021, Wade visited Willis’ residence on two occasions late at night, departing in the early morning hours—once in September and once in November.

Willis and Wade have asserted that their relationship commenced in the spring of 2022, following Willis’s hiring of Wade.
