The chairman of the Fulton County Audit Committee is demanding that District Attorney Fani Willis, who is leading the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump, respond to allegations that she “misused” funds by taking vacations financed by her own special prosecutor on the case.
Fulton County Commissioner Bob Ellis, the chairman of the county’s audit committee, sent a letter to Willis Friday evening asking whether she engaged in a “romantic relationship” with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, “misused” county funds, and “accepted valuable gifts and personal benefits from a contractor/recipient of County funds.”

“These allegations involve your decision to appoint Nathan Wade to serve as a special prosecutor in the matter in which former President Trump is a co-defendant. Mr. Wade is alleged to (1) lack relevant prosecutorial experience in a case of this type and complexity, (2) have paid for your portion of multiple instances of joint leisure travel, and (3) be in a romantic relationship with you that was not disclosed to the court or to the parties in the case,” Ellis wrote.
Ellis cited credit card statements from a leaked filing in Wade’s open divorce case showing the special prosecutor purchased a pair of airline tickets which included Willis’s name. The transactional records, part of the sealed divorce case in the Cobb County Superior Court, coincide with allegations in a recent motion made by one of Trump’s co-defendants, Mike Roman, that claimed Willis improperly benefitted from Wade’s contract by joining him on several vacations.
