The judge overseeing the case against Trump in Georgia has just ordered a hearing after accusations of misconduct were leveled at District Attorney Fani Willis.

We told you the other day that one of the defendants being prosecuted by Willis submitted a filing that accused Fani Willis of hiring her romantic partner to help prosecute Trump and then paid him a lot of money to do it.

Now a judge wants to know what this is about:

A state judge overseeing the election-interference case against former president Donald Trump in Georgia has scheduled a hearing for Feb. 15 to hear evidence regarding accusations that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) and her lead prosecutor engaged in an improper relationship and mishandled public money.

Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee also wrote in his order that Willis must respond to the accusations in writing by Feb. 2. The accusations first came to light in a filing from one of Trump’s co-defendants, former campaign aide Mike Roman. The order, which is not yet on the case docket, was obtained by The Washington Post.

Willis has declined to address the accusations directly so far. McAfee’s order appears to be forcing her to do so in televised court proceedings, a development that could at the least be embarrassing for the district attorney and at worst derail the investigation completely.

In his filing, Roman called for Willis and the lead prosecutor, Nathan Wade, to be removed from the case, and also for the charges to be dismissed.

While it’s not mentioned above, I hope the judge also wants to know about the multiple interactions between Willis and her boyfriend and the White House, as well as those interactions with the January 6th committee.
