Former Trump staffer Michael Roman, who faces seven charges in Georgia, filed a lawsuit presented without tangible evidence alleging that Willis "engaged in a personal, romantic relationship" with Wade and "personally benefited from" the alleged affair, meaning she acted "to defraud the public of honest services."
The Willis-Wade relationship must now be addressed by the district attorney, Georgia Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee wrote in a legal filing earlier this week.
Willis must submit a written response by February 2 to allegations that she "engaged in a personal, romantic relationship" with Wade, which will be followed by an evidentiary hearing on February 15.
Willis has not acknowledged or denied the allegations.
Willis' attorney, Cinque Axam, filed a motion to stop Willis from being forced to testify by subpoena in the divorce of Nathan and Joycelyn Wade on January 23, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
