Fani Willis misconduct hearing resumes in Trump Georgia election case

The hearing over accusations that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis engaged in misconduct heads into a second day after her bombshell testimony on Thursday.

The hearing over accusations that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis engaged in misconduct heads into a second day after her bombshell testimony on Thursday.

The accusations threaten to derail the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump. Willis was not called to testify again on Friday.

The district attorney's office is expected to call at least three new witnesses to the stand, including Willis’ father, while seeking to quash a push for her airline records. A dispute over who paid for trips Willis took with the lead prosecutor in the case against Trump is at the center of the allegations against her.

An attorney for one of Trump’s co-defendants said Willis' Delta Air Lines records may reflect previously undisclosed trips by Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade amid claims that Willis personally benefited from their relationship. The attorneys face misconduct allegations that could lead to Willis’ removal from the case.

Willis dropped her bid to avoid testifying in a surprise turn Thursday, taking the stand after a former friend disputed the timeline of her relationship with Wade. Willis acknowledged this month that she had a personal relationship with Wade but denied that it was improper.
