District Attorney and lead prosecutor in the Georgia election case against Donald Trump admitted to taking two cruises to the Bahamas with her lover and fellow prosecutor Nathan Wade during a misconduct hearing on Thursday.
When Fani Willis took the stand to defend her relationship with a married Wade whom she hired for the Trump case, she acknowledged the two took lavish trips to the Caribbean, including the Bahamas, and clarifying they split the expenses though there is no paper trail to back up their claims because she used cash.
The hearing is to determine if she should be dismissed from Trump’s case. It is alleged Willis hired Wade while they had a romantic relationship, has since financially benefited from his employment, and was getting kickbacks from him in the form of vacations.
Trump and 18 of his co-accused, want Willis and her entire office disqualified from the case–conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
Willis acknowledged in a court filing that she had an affair with Wade, but denied it had tainted the Trump proceedings since the affair began after hiring him.
