A Fulton County board will hold a meeting on ethics complaints against the embattled district attorney.
The Fulton County Board of Ethics in Georgia confirmed Wednesday that it will take up multiple complaints against Trump prosecutor and District Attorney Fani Willis.
In a letter, the county board said that it will “hold a special meeting” on possible Willis ethics violations on March 7, saying that “members of the public are welcome to attend.”
It provided few details, but gave a list of items to be discussed in the meeting, including two specific complaints against Ms. Willis. According to the letter, Greg Mantell, with the Investigative News Service on Substack, is said to be the source of one of the Willis complaints, while an individual named Steven Kramer also filed a complaint.
Ms. Willis has been recently accused of financially benefitting from a relationship with her special prosecutor, Nathan Wade, according to a motion filed by a Trump case co-defendant, Michael Roman. Both testified on Feb. 16 over the matter, denying allegations of any impropriety—although portions of their testimony were called into the question.
Reports have indicated that Mr. Mantell wrote to the Fulton County Ethics Board last month and accused Ms. Willis of multiple ethics violations stemming from the Roman filing last month.
In the letter, he wrote that “I wish to file a formal ethics complaint against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for several violation of the Ethics Code,” adding later that he wanted to see her expense reports for 2021, 2022, and 2023, contracts with Mr. Wade for those same years, and related records.
The Epoch Times has contacted her office for comment.
During last week’s hearing on whether she should be disqualified from the Trump case, Ms. Willis pushed back regarding allegations that romance with the special counsel presented a financial conflict of interest
She repeatedly accused a lawyer for Mr. Roman of lying in her statements to the court by implying that Ms. Willis had lived with the colleague. “You’re confused. … You think I’m on trial. These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020,” the Fulton County district attorney told the lawyer, Ashleigh Merchant.
