Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade tampered with a witness and suborned perjury, a Friday court filing in the ongoing disqualification controversy alleges.

As the effort to remove the prosecutors from the racketeering (RICO) and election interference case brought against Donald Trump enters its waning days, the new claims come in a 20-page response that largely argues for the application of certain legal standards.

“Dissatisfied with merely perjuring themselves, the District Attorney and [Special Assistant District Attorney (SADA)] Wade engaged in a coordinated campaign to tamper with a witness and encourage the witness to present false testimony,” the filing reads.
