Five lawyers representing some of the defendants in the case against former President Donald Trump in Georgia face potential conflicts of interest, according to Fani Willis, the Fulton County district attorney prosecuting the case.

The lawyers previously represented clients who are now witnesses in the case, so the lawyers might have to cross-examine their former clients during trial, Ms. Willis said in a Sept. 20 court filing (pdf).
