Fani Willis Tried and Failed to Take Down Trump, Now She’s Trying to Hide How Many Millions Were Wasted in the Process

Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis spent months, even longer, trying to put together an organized crime case against President Donald Trump as Democrats were weaponizing a number of government agencies to attack him.

It fell apart when an appeals courts commented on her decision to hire a paramour to work on the case, and both he and she were ordered off the case entirely.

Now it appears that taxpayers may never know the actual amount of money wasted in the political agenda.

A report from the investigators at the Center Square explained some expenditures are known, others remain concealed.

The report comes even as the prosecutors office there in Fulton County, Georgia, is facing up to $16 million or more in additional costs because of a state law that requires prosecutors to reimburse defendants when their case is dismissed because of prosecutorial misconduct.

Willis and the Fulton County government have failed to provide a total, despite repeated requests from the publication, it reported.

“What’s certain is that taxpayers of the state’s most populous county shelled out huge amounts in the ill-fated case. The indictment accused then-former President Trump and 18 other people of conspiring to overturn the 2020 election.”

What is known is that country records show $1.2 million in payments to outside law firms who helped Willis in her war on Trump, although it’s not known how much of that was for Willis’ case against Trump and how much fore other work.

Further, there’s little information made public about in-house costs, time consumed by lawyers, investigators and more.

The Center Square documented how it repeatedly has made public records requests.

“There is somebody in some department in Fulton County that could figure out the D.A.’s cost for that prosecution,” charged Danny Porter, a former district attorney for neighboring Gwinnett County. “Whether there’s anybody sitting around in that office with that figure in their head is another matter.”

The case breathed its last when Pete Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, dropped it, citing weaknesses in the allegations and the impracticality of prosecuting a sitting president.

Neither Willis nor a spokesman responded to requests for information, the report said.

“It would be very embarrassing for the DA’s office to disclose how much time, resources and effort were spent on this case that amounted to essentially nothing,” said Manny Arora, defense lawyer who client, Kenneth Chesebro, was involved.

Willis began her campaign against Trump in 2021, shortly after a Trump in a recorded telephone call told Georgia officials of the need to “find” another 11,780 votes.

That year, the DA’s budget was $26.3 million. It’s up to $39.4 million now.

The two Republicans on the county commissioner say they’ve tried to find out the details, unsuccessfully.

“Taxpayers certainly didn’t get anything back from it,” Commissioner Bridget Thorne told The Center Square. “If anything, they got things taken away from it. Courts that weren’t moving, cases that weren’t being indicted, people that were in jail too long, overcrowding the jail, people dying in our jail, filing lawsuits.”

The publication reported its attempts to get public information went “nowhere.”

What is known is that Willis’ paramour, Nathan J. Wade, was paid $770,381 during that time period, and two other lawyers took $132,378 and $291,447.

Fani is a train. She said so.

That mess with Fani Willis should have never started, let alone continued as long as it did. She needs to make restitution & apologize to Donald Trump....and the taxpayers. After that, she could be fired.
