BREAKING: MTG Takes Legal Action Against Fani Willis

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is piling on the woes of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, filing a criminal conduct complaint on Thursday alleging the Georgia prosecutor abused her powers and taxpayer dollars by allegedly hiring and handsomely paying a subordinate with whom she was having a secret romantic relationship.

A Georgia Fox affiliate reported that Rep. Greene has filed her complaint with Republican Governor Brian Kemp and Attorney General Chris Carr, asking both to investigate whether the Democrat mixed politics with pleasure when she paid special prosecutor Nathan Wade approximately $700,000 to involve himself in her prosecution of former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants. DA Willis is alleging the former president, along with Rudy Giuliani, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and more than a dozen others committed racketeering by attempting to overturn the state’s 2020 election results.

Earlier this week, an attorney for one of Trump’s co-defendants filed a motion in the case to relieve DA Willis of her prosecutorial power, alleging she carried on a secret affair with Wade. If true, “Fani Willis’ serious lawlessness, including potential violation of public oath” would irreparably impair her prosecution of Trump, Green wrote to Gov. Kemp and AG Carr.

Ashleigh Merchant, the attorney for former Trump campaign official Michael Roman, said her client’s allegations are based on “sources with knowledge” of Willis’s galavanting but did not provide evidence. She has requested the presiding judge to order the unsealing of Wade’s divorce proceedings which she claimed will tie him to Willis.

“Admittedly, this is a bold allegation considering it is directed to one of the most powerful people in the State of Georgia, the Fulton County District Attorney. Nevertheless, the district attorney’s fame and power do not change the fact that she decided to appoint as the special prosecutor a person with whom she had a personal relationship and who is now leading the day-to-day prosecution of this case,” Roman’s attorney wrote in the motion.

Speaking with reporters on Tuesday, President Trump chided the Democratic prosecutor for compromising herself.

“You had a very big event yesterday as you saw in Georgia where the district attorney is totally compromised. The case has to be dropped. They went after 18 or 20 people. … She was out of her mind. Now it turns out that case is totally compromised,” he said.

“It’s illegal. What she did is illegal. So we’ll let the state handle that, but what a sad situation it is,” Trump added.

Earlier this week, DA Willis was served with a surprise subpoena to testify in Wade’s divorce trial, complicating her effort to stay out of the spotlight while keeping the focus on President Trump. She is already contending with a probe by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee regarding whether her office abused taxpayer resources by coordinating her prosecution with Biden Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith. Meanwhile, her efforts to advance the case to completion before the 2024 election “seems unrealistic,” according to recent remarks by a Georgia judge.
