(PatriotSpotlight.org) – Following a string of scandals surrounding Fulton County’s district attorney, one of Donald Trump’s co-defendants has threatened legal action against Fani Willis. Willis has famously pursued criminal charges against Donald Trump in Georgia due to his alleged involvement in election interference. Willis soon became the focus of national attention after she participated in an affair with an attorney she appointed as special prosecutor, causing some legal experts to accuse her of prosecutorial misconduct. Willis maintains her innocence, but her refusal to withdraw from the case has prompted threats of legal action.
Willis first made national headlines after various media outlets reported that she had a romantic affair with attorney Nathan Wade, whom she appointed to the election interference case. Wade received funding pulled from Georgia’s taxpayers, which he allegedly used to go on expensive trips with Willis. Willis denies receiving any gifts or complimentary vacations from Wade but has admitted to engaging with him romantically during Trump’s criminal case. Despite the scandal, the case’s presiding judge allowed Willis to remain involved if Wade stepped down from his position, prompting Wade to resign soon after.
Willis has once again made national headlines due to Harrison Floyd, one of Trump’s fellow defendants, who threatened to sue Willis if she refused to step down from the criminal case. Floyd didn’t just threaten legal action; he also accused Willis of using illegal surveillance methods to monitor his communications. Willis allegedly shared a private recording of her talking to Floyd’s legal representative regarding a different case that didn’t involve Floyd or Trump. Floyd claims Willis violated a Maryland law that prevents people from sharing recorded conversations unless both people involved agree, which could result in someone spending half a decade behind bars if convicted.
While Floyd claims he’ll pursue legal action against Willis, a Georgia appeals court will also weigh in on whether or not she can remain involved in Trump’s election interference case. Trump’s team recently appealed Judge Scott McAfee’s decision to let Willis stay on the case, citing a conflict of interest due to Willis’s recent public statements. Willis accused Trump’s team of various forms of unethical behavior and hinted that she believed Trump’s team opposed her because of her being black.
Despite Floyd’s threatened legal action and the ongoing appeal effort from Trump’s legal team, Willis will likely remain involved in Trump’s election interference case in the foreseeable future. Trump maintains his innocence regarding the criminal case and remains adamant that Willis possesses a conflict of interest and should not remain a part of the prosecution’s effort.
