Attorneys for former President Donald Trump asked a judge overseeing his Georgia election case to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis amid allegations that she engaged in an improper relationship with her special prosecutor in the case, while also accusing her of making “racially charged statements.”

The allegations against Ms. Willis, a Democrat, and her appointed special prosecutor, Nathan Wade, come days after a Trump co-defendant in the case, Michael Roman, also sought to disqualify her.
