Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis appeared to defend accusations of having an alleged secret lover co-prosecutor as they oversee the Georgia case against former President Donald Trump.
Willis was accused in a stunning court filing by one of Trump's co-defendants of having an affair with Nathan Wade, who was paid more than $600,000 as a special prosecutor assisting her office.
The former president pointed to the allegations Tuesday and said it meant the Georgia prosecutor was 'totally compromised' and that the racketeering case against Trump and 18 codefendants 'has to be dropped.'
In an impassioned 35-minute speech at the Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta Sunday, she did not directly refer to - and did not deny - the accusations but suggested that criticism of her was racist and sexist.
'You cannot expect black women to be perfect and save the world. We need to be allowed to stumble,' she said.
Without naming Wade, she clearly appeared to be referring to him in her speech, adding that this 'someone' had 'impeccable credentials' and years of expertise.
'They are going to be mad when I call them out on this nonsense,' Willis told the congregation. 'First thing they say, 'Oh, she's going to play the race card.' But … isn't it them playing the race card when they think I need someone in some other jurisdiction in some other state to tell me how to do a job I've been doing almost 30 years?'
Willis thanked leaders of the historically black church in Atlanta who 'didn´t care what they said about me' and told her 'the invite was still good' to speak.
'I hope for y'all this week I don´t look like what I've been through,' she said.
She repeatedly referred to herself as 'imperfect' and 'flawed,' noting that...

Weak sauce. She's supposed to know the rules of the game. She messed up. Time to pay.
She pays him big taxpayer bucks (Covid money?) and he spends it on her. What’s not to like. /sarc
'Today, what he has brought you is his very flawed, hardheaded and imperfect servant,' she said.
Willis said her father, who she said met and spent time with Dr. Martin Luther King, told her that he saw the civil rights leader at low moments, saddened because people were cruel and unsupportive.
Her father told her that King 'was not a perfect man, but he was a great man, willing to answer God's call.'
Fani is currently dating a married man.
Ya got caught, pay the piper.
Can she at least edit that to “You can’t expect FAT black women to be perfect....”
btw her statement was 1000% racist.
B!tch comes after you with the law, and then refers to herself not as a district attorney, but as a “Black Woman” and you can’t call her out as a total racist??
Imagine Ken Starr defending himself on the ground he was a “white man”.
So her logic is being black is the same as being a victim?
I think that trope ran its course long ago. If all she has is the race card then she has nothing.
We can expect them to follow the law as well as basic rules of ethics for lawyers though.
Democrats can see their Party as they FAIL.
Hey fat Fanni you ain’t “saving” nothing except the money on your vacations, which you stole from the taxpayers.
Narcissist disguised as a DA.
ANY IMperfection concerning Donald Trump is VERY IMPORTANT ... that is what they’ve been telling us!
Stumble and lay there with her feet in the air.
Yeah, that's exactly what I expected black women to do. What a poor non sequitur. Boy, is she stupid.
The word “stumbling” isn’t defined as committing illegal acts deliberately, over and over.
She’s just following the example set by the vice president.
is alienation of affection a thing in GA???
