Fulton County, Georgia district attorney Fani Willis, who brought charges against former President Donald Trump on election interference, claims allegations brought against her of having an "improper" romantic relationship with a prosecutor were made because they are Black.
Court documents filed earlier this month say Willis hired special prosecutor Nathan Wade, her alleged partner, to prosecute Trump and benefited financially from the relationship in the form of lavish vacations the two went on using funds his firm received for working the case.
For the first time since the allegations were made, Willis spoke on the matter at the Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta on Sunday.
"They only attacked one," she said. "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," Willis asked.
Willis had remained mum in public on the matter, though she still has neither confirmed nor denied the allegations brought against her and Wade, who was involved in bringing an indictment against Trump for election interference.
Although she never mentioned Wade by name during the speech on Sunday, she referred to the man as "a great friend and a great lawyer."
Trump’s co-defendant, Michael Roman, accused Willis and Wade of having an "improper" and "clandestine" affair at the same time appointments were being made for the 2020 election interference case.
Roman was a former official on Trump’s 2020 campaign and argued about the integrity of the case being compromised because of the affair, last week in court, asking for the charges against Roman to be dropped.

When you only have one card in your hand, you might as well play it.
Any professional who has risen in ranks then pulls the race card should be demoted to outhouse spit shiner. They literally prove they have no business holding any professional position anywhere.
Most blue collar people, regardless of race, know better. It’s what guilty people do when they have no defense against their actions.
Race hustlers are never about the content of character but about the color of skin..
Well, idiot, "they" weren't wrong.
When I read the headline I did a double take because I thought it had to be from The Babylon Bee.
This is all she has for Defense ? LOL
She must thing her race card excuses incompetence she never bothered to read it.
