Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade have been subpoenaed to testify in an upcoming hearing over allegations they are having an affair that has resulted in the misuse of public funds, a lawsuit filed Tuesday says.

On Tuesday, attorneys representing Michael Roman, a staff member for Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign, sued the district attorney’s office alleging instances in which the Georgia Open Records Act has been violated in the course of seeking documents related to the alleged affair. Roman is a co-defendant in the election subversion and racketeering (RICO) case against Trump and various others.

In early January, Roman first publicized the allegations against Willis and Wade in a bombshell lawsuit arguing the prosecutorial duo should be disqualified from the proceedings due to a “conflict of interest” because of their alleged self-dealing, nepotistic relationship.

A hearing over those allegations is slated to be held on Feb. 15 before Fulton County Superior Court Scott McAfee.
