The Stakes Were Too High for Fani Willis to Do This

Slate  

Editor’s Note: On Friday, Feb. 2, in a 176-page court filing, Fani Willis admitted to having a relationship with Nathan Wade but insisted there was no conflict of interest that affected the Trump racketeering prosecution. The allegations against Willis are broad, but the worst among them are that she hired Nathan Wade as special counsel on the case—for which he has reportedly been paid more than $650,000 in public funds over the years he’s worked for her despite having very limited experience in complex criminal cases—because Willis and Wade “have been engaged in an improper, clandestine personal relationship during the pendency of this case.” Wade allegedly paid for vacations for both him and Willis, the motion asserts, which means that both of them have profited “significantly from this prosecution at the expense of the taxpayers.” The accusations were made by former Trump campaign official Mike Roman, a co-defendant in the Trump election interference case, in a motion filed before the judge. As former federal prosecutor Ankush Khardori wrote in Politico, “Roman’s filing claims that Willis and Wade may have violated the honest-services and RICO statutes because they ‘personally benefited from an undisclosed conflict of interest,’ but that theory of criminal liability was foreclosed by the Supreme Court nearly 15 years ago.” Roman made either an embarrassing mistake or a dishonest effort to mislead the judge. Trump’s lawyers now want Willis disqualified and the case dismissed, arguing that her church speech was “a glaring, flagrant, and calculated effort to foment racial bias” that would prejudice a jury, as well as a violation of the professional conduct rules that govern lawyers in Georgia.
