Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who faces allegations of an “improper” relationship with and financial benefits from a top Trump prosecutor she hired, addressed churchgoers at Big Bethel AME in her first public statement since the filing of the accusations.
The filing claimed that Willis had a romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, a top prosecutor she hired to go after President Trump, and that she “financially benefited” from this relationship.
Willis defended her relationship with Wade and played the race card, questioning why the judgment of a white male Republican is considered acceptable while that of a black female Democrat is not. She emphasized Wade’s “impeccable” credentials and mentioned his previous employment by a Republican official in another county.
During her address, Willis acknowledged her flaws and imperfections, expressing her commitment to ensuring the well-being of others. She spoke about the expectations placed on black women, emphasizing the need for grace and understanding as they navigate challenges. Willis concluded her remarks by emphasizing that everyone is flawed but qualified upon divine calling.
GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a criminal complaint against Fani Willis over the alleged “improper” relationship with Nathan Wade. The situation adds complexity to the legal dynamics in Fulton County.
