Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said conflict of interest claims were "salacious" and in "bad faith".

Nathan Wade, an outside prosecutor Ms Willis appointed to the case, said in an affidavit the pair had "developed a personal relationship" in 2022.

Mr Trump and co-defendants want them disqualified from the case.

Friday's filings were the first time the two prosecutors publicly acknowledged their relationship.
