Special prosecutor Nathan Wade and a witness presented different timelines of Mr. Wade’s romantic relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis during a Feb. 15 evidentiary hearing on whether she may be disqualified from the high-profile state racketeering case involving former President Donald Trump.

President Trump and 18 co-defendants were indicted by a grand jury in August 2023; four of those defendants have taken plea deals. Some of the remaining defendants have now moved to disqualify Ms. Willis.
