Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade lied about their relationship, according to a Friday court filing by a co-defendant in the racketeering (RICO) and election subversion case against former President Donald Trump and others.

Attorneys representing Michael Roman, a staff member for Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign, made the allegations in a 122-page supplemental reply to last week’s response by Willis, which acknowledged she is in a “personal relationship” with Wade — but insisted there was nothing untoward about their romance.

The latest Roman filing, prepared by Marietta-based attorneys Ashleigh Merchant and John Merchant, directly disputes claims about the timeline of the relationship made by the DA’s office as well as a sworn affidavit from Wade attached to the earlier Willis filing.
