A Georgia judge suggested that the credibility of a key witness in the case against Fulton County Fani Willis could be tainted because he appeared to violate sequestration rules before testifying at a hearing last week.

John Floyd, the father of Ms. Willis, was called in as a state’s witness to testify in favor of the embattled district attorney on Feb. 16 regarding her living situation and alleged cash repayments Ms. Willis made. Last month, a co-defendant in the sprawling racketeering and election case against President Donald Trump, which Ms. Willis brought, said that she engaged in an improper relationship with her special counsel, Nathan Wade, and benefitted financially from the arrangement.
