Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis faces renewed pressure as the judge considering whether she should be disqualified from the case against former President Donald Trump has ordered special prosecutor Nathan Wade’s former lawyer to retake the stand as a witness to answer more questions about an alleged “improper” relationship between Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade.
Ashleigh Merchant, a defense attorney who is seeking to disqualify Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade from the case on the premise that the pair were in a personal relationship that they benefited from at taxpayers’ expense, told 11Alive that Judge Scott McAfee on Monday ordered the witness, Terrence Bradley, back to the stand.
