The Kuhner Report 02/16/2024 [FULL SHOW] DA Fani Willis should be disqualified from Georgia Trump election interference case over conflict of interest

TOPICS: The district attorney and the lawyer prosecuting Donald Trump for allegedly trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat in Georgia have taken the witness stand - denying claims their romantic relationship presents a financial conflict of interest.

Trump and some of his 14 co-defendants argue Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified from the prosecution due to her relationship with lawyer Nathan Wade. The pair went on trips together - with Mr Wade booking them while he was being paid by Ms Willis' office.

Mr Wade and Ms Willis have testified that their relationship, which is said to have come to an end last summer, began in early 2022 - months after the district attorney appointed the lawyer in November 2021. However, Robin Yeartie, a former friend and employee of Ms Willis, contradicted the timeline and said the pair began dating shortly after they met in 2019. Taking the witness stand, Ms Willis angrily pushed back against what she described as "lies" about her relationship with Mr Wade.
