Attorney says she has witnesses ready to take stand over DA, prosecutor’s alleged relationship
Channel 2 Action News has obtained new information about the court motion in the Georgia election interference case alleging Fulton County District Attorney
Fani Willis and the special prosecutor overseeing the case have been engaged in an improper personal relationship.
The defense attorney who made those explosive allegations told
Channel 2 investigative reporter Mark Winne that she has eyewitnesses.
The spokesman for the DA’s office said the prosecution has won every major motion and every appeal in the election interference case so far -- then came this motion
making incendiary allegations about one of the most prominent prosecutors in America.
Now, people want to know from the lawyer making these allegations – what do you have to back it up?
“I would never have filed something like this if I didn’t have multiple sources to corroborate,” Ashleigh Merchant said about the motion she filed on behalf of her client, Michael Roman, alleging an improper relationship between Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade, possibly tainting the case.
Merchant told Winne that she has documentary evidence.
“We look forward to litigating this motion in court where we can bring forward all of our evidence,” Merchant said.
She told Winne that she expects to put up eyewitness testimony about the alleged relationship between Willis and Wade.
Fulton County District Attorney’s Office spokesman Jeff DiSantis said the office will respond to Merchant’s allegations in court filings and in court “We look forward to addressing the matter.”
Merchant maintains she has witnesses who did not want to provide written affidavits but indicated they would testify in court if subpoenaed.
She said she has talked to a former DA’s office employee who believed it was common knowledge Willis and Wade were dating.
