Merchant, a lawyer for one of the defendants in the Georgia election interference case, charges in a court filing that Fani T. Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, engaged in a “clandestine” relationship with Nathan J.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Ms. Willis says racism is a factor in the scrutiny of her hiring of Mr. Wade.
An affidavit from Mr. Wade asserts that the romantic relationship started only after he was hired.
A former friend of Ms. Willis, Robin Bryant-Yeartie, says she has “no doubt” the two started a romantic relationship earlier than they have said.
But Mr. Wade, testifying for several hours, firmly denies Ms. Bryant-Yeartie’s claim.
