Fulton county DA hits back at Republican opponents who investigated her over relationship with special prosecutor
Fulton county district attorney Fani Willis testified on Wednesday at a combative Georgia state senate committee about her prosecution of Donald Trump for election interference.
The state senate created the special committee in early 2024 to investigate Willis after the revelation that she had a romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, special prosecutor in the Trump case, which ultimately derailed the prosecution of the now-re-elected president.
Senators initially wanted to know if the two had improperly benefitted financially from the relationship. That inquiry expanded after Trump’s win in 2024, looking for signs that Willis had coordinated with the January 6 congressional committee while using federal grant money to do so.
“You want something to investigate as a legislature? Investigate how many times they’ve called me the N-word,” Willis said during her contentious testimony. “Why don’t you investigate them writing on my house? Why don’t you investigate the fact that my house has been swatted? If you want something to do with your time that makes sense. And you can use all this in your campaign ad – you attacked Fani Willis. What have you done, sir? Nothing.”
