A co-defendant in the criminal case against former President Donald Trump in Georgia has made a startling accusation against District Attorney Fani Willis. The co-defendant alleges that Willis had an improper relationship with a prosecutor involved in the case.
The accusation was made in a court filing by a lawyer representing one of the co-defendants in the case, which stems from a phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which Trump allegedly pressured Raffensperger to “find” enough votes to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
According to the filing, the co-defendant’s lawyer claims to have evidence that Willis had an inappropriate relationship with a prosecutor who was involved in the case. The lawyer argues that this alleged relationship could compromise the integrity of the prosecution.
Willis has denied the allegations, calling them “completely false and baseless.” She has also stated that she will not be swayed by “baseless attacks” against her office.
The accusation comes at a time when Willis’ office is facing increased scrutiny over its handling of the case against Trump. Critics have raised concerns about the impartiality and fairness of the prosecution, particularly in light of Willis’ previous criticism of Trump.
It remains to be seen how this latest development will impact the case against Trump and his co-defendants. The allegations of an improper relationship between Willis and a prosecutor could potentially lead to a delay in the proceedings or even a dismissal of the charges.
As the case continues to unfold, all eyes will be on Willis and her office as they navigate these serious allegations and work to ensure a fair and just outcome.
