Nathan Wade, a lawyer prosecuting Donald Trump for trying to overturn his election defeat in Georgia, denied allegations by the former president that his romance with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis presented a financial conflict of interest.
Wade on Thursday pushed back on accusations raised by Trump co-defendant Michael Roman that Willis, the prosecutor overseeing the case, financially benefited from the relationship through travel Wade paid for while being compensated by Willis’ office. Read more about the testimony.
The Georgia case is one of four criminal prosecutions that Trump is facing as he closes in on securing the Republican nomination to challenge President Joe Biden in the November election. Trump himself was in New York on Thursday where a judge scheduled a trial on charges related to hush-money payments to a porn star to start on March 25.
