ATLANTA (AP) — The judge in the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump is set to hear arguments over whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be removed from the prosecution over a romantic relationship.

Willis and Wade have acknowledged the relationship, but argue it does not create any conflict and has no bearing on the case. They say the relationship ended last summer.
