The hearing will focus on whether the Fulton County, Georgia, district attorney improperly benefited from her relationship with a special prosecutor appointed to the case.
From The New York Times:
A hearing that could put Donald J. Trump’s election interference case in Georgia in limbo began with a witness testifying that the top prosecutors were in a romantic relationship earlier than they have acknowledged. The defense sees the detail as crucial for arguing that the lead prosecutor and her office should be disqualified from the case.
The defense says the relationship between the two main prosecutors — Fani T. Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, and Nathan J. Wade, whom she hired to run the case — has created an untenable conflict of interest. A disqualification would have a major impact on the case against the former president and his allies.
