A Georgia district attorney accused of hiring her lover to prosecute former President Trump broke her silence on the controversy, saying she and the prosecutor were targeted because they are black.
“They only attacked one,” Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis Sunday at Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta. “First thing they say, ‘Oh, she’s gonna play the race card now.’
“But no God, isn’t it them that’s playing the race card when they only question one?”
The comments were Willis’ first time addressing the allegations publicly — but she neither confirmed nor denied the claims lobbed at her and special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who helped secure an indictment against the former Republican president in an election interference case.
She called Wade “a great friend and a great lawyer,” along with a “superstar,” but failed to mention him by name once during her more than 30 minute speech, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The pair were accused by Trump co-defendant Michael Roman of having a “clandestine” and “improper” affair when appointments were made for the 2020 election interference case.
Roman, a former official on the Trump 2020 campaign, argued in a court filing last week that the integrity of the case had been compromised by their alleged affair and asked that all charges against him be dropped.
“The district attorney chose to appoint her romantic partner, who at all times relevant to this prosecution has been a married man,” the filing read.
Roman contended in the filing that Wade used some of the $654,000 in legal fees he’d earned on the case to take Willis on vacations to “Napa Valley, California, Florida and the Caribbean.”

Naturally.
LOL - she’s played the race card. The last refuge of a scoundrel
It means all the accusations true.
What exactly do these accusations have to do with race?
Her PR firm told her to go to a black church where she could expect a favorable audience, confess to not being perfect, and play the race card.
Actually, not a bad strategy considering the trouble she is facing.
Her best chance is to make her wrongdoing about “racial injustice” in this country; there is a big market for that product.
According to the corrupt racist whore...
She does not deny the allegations. Interesting
So.....
It was racissssss.
I knew it, somehow, on some level./S
There you have it, folks. It’s racism. Just like the Harvard President’s testimony causing a backlash and the fact she engaged in plagiarism - everybody would have been just fine with it had they only been white... (eye roll)
RE: expect a favorable audience, confess to not being perfect, and play the race card.
She forgot or couldn’t afford the under the table “fee” required to get Bill Clinton, America’s First Black President, to back her up and fight back tears as he embraces her on stage.
Where B my race card??? Who took my race card!!!
How do black “churches” not lose their tax exempt status??
Actually its pretty disgusting.
Going to a "church" on the Lord's Day where Christ should be the beginning, middle, and ending focus of this day in Church. If someone wants to whine, or politic, about something else - there are six other days of the week - not the one day that the Lord set aside to Rest in Him, and to Worship.
Pretty disgusting. This is not a church - and Willis is a disgusting individual.
“Just the facts, Ma’am!”
Your persecution of President Trump is racially motivated, “Fanny”.
It sure does. I wonder if there are any race cards left, since so many race cards have already been played.
