Trump's Allegations of Misconduct in Georgia Election Interference Case
In a court filing, former Trump campaign official Michael Roman accuses Fulton County prosecutor Fannie Willis of misconduct in the Georgia election interference case. He claims that Willis improperly hired her romantic partner to lead the Rico case and benefited financially from his appointment. While Roman's claims lack direct evidence, they raise concerns about the integrity of the prosecution.
