The lawyer for a Trump co-defendant who filed the motion accusing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis of engaging in an improper relationship with her former special counsel said that she has new plans to oust her from the Trump case.
Ashleigh Merchant filed a motion to disqualify Ms. Willis in January, kicking off a series of hearings that ultimately led to the ouster of her special counsel, Nathan Wade. Ms. Merchant alleged that Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade engaged in a relationship in which she financially benefitted, although the financial allegations were not confirmed.
