Fulton County, Georgia’s District Attorney Fani Willis is facing pressure to step down due to allegations of a scandalous love affair with a member of her legal team, compromising her case against former President Donald Trump.
Former U.S. Attorney Michael Moore advised her to withdraw from the case, emphasizing the potential damage to the prosecution.
Accusations include ethical breaches, misuse of taxpayer money for lavish vacations, and questionable hiring practices.

“I’d tell her to get out of the case,” Moore said.
“I really think that in this type of case — with these allegations — this case is bigger than any one prosecutor,” he said.
“Cases are not lost because of some ‘Matlock’ moment, some moment like you see in ‘My Cousin Vinny,’ where suddenly somebody finds the evidence. Cases die by the death of 1,000 cuts. This is a cut on the case,” he said.
“The bigger concern [than the alleged affair and financial payments] is hiring an attorney to handle the biggest RICO case, possibly in the history of U.S. jurisprudence, when that counsel has never handled a RICO case before,” defense attorney Manny Arora said.
Questions about the special prosecutor’s qualifications and lack of county approval further challenge the case’s integrity.
The situation raises concerns about the DA’s conduct and the case’s credibility.
“Open records requests to Fulton County reveal that the district attorney did not obtain county approval to appoint the special prosecutor,” the filing reads. “Why would the district attorney not obtain this approval prior to appointing the special prosecutor?”
“The special prosecutor, based on his lack of experience in this type of felony, would not be qualified under Fulton County’s standards to be appointed to represent any defendant in this case given the complexity of the charges,” the filing read.
“If the special prosecutor is not qualified to defend this case under Fulton County’s standards, then how is he qualified to prosecute the case?” it added. “Is that why the district attorney did not seek approval for his appointment? If so, why did she seek to appoint an unqualified lawyer without approval to preside over this prosecution?”
