In a comprehensive court filing that was 176 pages, Willis dismissed the claims against her as baseless and sensational. Willis denied any wrongdoing and emphasized that there was no evidence to suggest that her relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade had influenced the case in any way. Wade refuted any claims suggesting his involvement had resulted in financial gains for Willis. Mike Roman, a co-defendant with Trump who initially made allegations of misconduct, accused Wade of funding extravagant vacations with Willis. However, Wade's affidavit acknowledged that in 2022, a personal relationship had developed alongside their professional association and friendship.
