Trump co-defendant Michael Roman accused Willis of misconduct for her “clandestine” relationship with Nathan Wade, whom she appointed as special counsel.
There is more here than just a personal life complication. The person she was with used funds from the case to pay for personal vacations. This is about his use of government funds for personal use while being involved in a case against the highest government official (at the time of offense). While I don’t think it had any impact on the case and shouldn’t delay the case in any way, I don’t think either of them should be kept on the case.
My understanding is that he used prosecution travel funds for personal travel. So he was hired by the government to do a job and was given travel funds as part of that contract, but he misused those funds. That’s a big no-no for government contracting. You aren’t even supposed to expense alcohol while on business trips funded by government contracts, let alone use those funds for personal travel.
I don’t think it’s embezzlement, but it probably rises to the level of “Fraud, Waste, and Abuse.”
The problematic thing that the defense will point out is that the prosecution is knowingly benefiting from trying a high level case, and therefore is biased towards making that case go to court even if it doesn’t merit it.
If what you write is true, he should be thrown out on his ass, that’s what we would do here. He would never be able to work for government again, and probably lose his right to work as an attorney, as he has shown himself unable to live up to the standards expected. Corruption is unacceptable.
But I still kind of doubt your version, because if that’s true, hoe come it’s either him or her, if he was the one doing the shady things, it should be him?

So he got paid and used his money like everyone else would? Or was there something wrong with his payment?
If you are talking embezzlement, I think he would go to jail for that, he certainly wouldn’t be allowed to work as a lawyer.
