(The Center Square) – Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis testified Thursday that she did nothing improper with a man she hired to prosecute former President Donald Trump.
Judge Scott McAfee said the case would continue Friday and he wasn’t expecting to make a ruling by then.
Willis said she had been pacing back in forth in her office during the morning testimony and raced to the courtroom when her former lover, Nathan Wade, got off the stand.
Earlier in the morning, Willis’ former friend Robin Bryant-Yeartie testified that Willis began a romantic relationship with Wade in 2019 shortly after they met at a judicial conference and years before Willis hired Wade.
Willis said she did not have a romantic relationship with Wade before she hired him to prosecute the Trump case.
Wade, who took the stand after Bryant-Yeartie, said the relationship with Willis started in March 2022, after he had been hired in November 2021.
Wade said the relationship started in March 2022. Willis said it began in early 2022.
Willis talked fast and forcefully on the stand. She often explained her answers with more detail than needed. For example, when asked about a trip to Napa Valley, she testified that she doesn’t like wine, but likes Grey Goose vodka.
She also testified she often kept up to $15,000 in cash in her house to pay expenses. She said she used that money to reimburse Wade for travel and other expenses.
Willis said she refused to be the person on trial. At one point Willis told Ashleigh Merchant, attorney for Michael Roman, that Merchant was a liar.
“Let’s be clear, because you’ve lied in this, let me tell you which one you lie in and right here,” Willis said in response to a question about when she and Wade broke up. “No, no, no, no, this is the truth.”
After that outburst, Judge McAfee called for a short break. When the court hearing re-started, the judge gave a lecture on professionalism to all the attorneys.
The judge later cautioned Willis and told her that further outbursts would result in her testimony being stricken.
Willis said she did not have a romantic relationship with Wade until after he was hired. She also said she didn’t tell any other prosecutors or county officials about the relationship with Wade.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is a Democrat.
The corrupt, treasonous Democrat elite and the Democrat Party supporters never take responsibility or are held accountable for their own treasonous, unlawful, destructive, dishonorable, immoral actions and agendas. Democrats always Lie and blame someone or something else for their own actions and policies. Even if the Democrats are caught “red handed”.
I’d love to know, how SHE IS seen as ‘trustworthy’, but the lawyer trying to hammer her, is “a threat to democracy’?
I listened to her testimony. They probably won’t be calling her back. She made it crystal clear she really didn’t do anything wrong. Not wrong for defense to jump on anything to try to get case off balance. The evidence extremely compelling leading to wrongdoing by Mr. Trump and the other defendants. He has to get things pushed back (win election and pardon himself) or dismissed on technicalities. Only sad thing about this is the treatment of the witness at times makes a case for some sexism and some would say racism. She appears to be a ordinary, but sharp and strong, lady doing her job. Hopefully other potential younger people, who may be contemplating entering public service, don’t be discouraged by these sorts of challenges if ever in opposition with an American billionaire oligarch.
So since SHE said ‘she didnt do nuffin wrong’, she MUST be innocent…
LOL. Just Slo Joe/Joke and Bill Clinton. Of course they are innocent.
“Fani Willis accuses Trump defense of “Lies’ about misconduct. – ”One finger points out to Trump defense while three others point back to her. “Hey Fani, have you ever been to another Continent with Nathan Wade. Yes I have been to the Continent of Bermuda, The Continent of The Bahamas, and gone with Joe Biden to the Continent of Mental Incontinence, and bladder Incontinence. My running mouth and his leaking backside.
I think Ms. Fani was a giant annoying, pain in the a$$. What a piece of work. Didn’t believe a word she said as she tried to run the show and divert and change the subject. She needs to go down in a big way. Bad hire!
Was a … pain in the a$$. IS a pain in the gluteus maximus.
Fani Willis exemplifies liberal Democrats today. She’s arrogant, obnoxious, unruly, rude, and has a privileged elitist attitude. She plays the race card every chance she gets and has contempt for anyone who thinks she needs to follow the rules. If we continue to put people like her in positions of power, we can kiss the rule of law and due process goodbye.
WITH dems in office, ANYWHERE, we can already kiss it goodbye in those states/cities. WE SEE the results daily!
Racist: having prejudice, discrimination or antagonism against a person or people based on their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group.
Fani Willis, Leticia James, Omar, Tlaib, AOC, Maxine Waters, Sharpton, Joy Reid, Farrakhan, Van Jones, Eric Holder, the Obamas, Kaepernick.
Above are just a few high profile people who perceive whatever rejection, ridicule or dislike expressed by anyone toward them is due to racism rather than to their own egotistical belligerence, race based resentment, race based self entitlement & grandiose sense of self importance demonstrated by their actions & behavior.
So, dislike of people like those listed above is not racism.
