According to a Fox News report, Fulton County DA Fani Willis will appear for a hearing next month regarding allegations that she had an improper relationship with her lead prosecutor.

Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee scheduled the hearing for February 15th.

From Fox News:

Court documents filed earlier this month say Willis hired special prosecutor Nathan Wade, her alleged romantic partner, to prosecute Trump and benefited financially from the relationship in the form of lavish vacations that the two went on using funds his firm received for working the case.

Willis has not confirmed or denied the claim, but she suggested she and Wade are being scrutinized because they are Black.

Willis spoke about the matter for the first time on Sunday at the Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta.

“They only attacked one,” she said. “First thing they say, ‘Oh, she’s gonna play the race card now.’

“But no God, isn’t it them that’s playing the race card when they only question one,” Willis asked.
