ATLANTA, Georgia — Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis fought back against allegations about her personal life during a Thursday court hearing on whether she misrepresented her relationship with Nathan Wade, the prosecutor hired as lead lawyer in the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump.

"You're confused. You think I'm on trial," Willis quipped to a defense attorney. "These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. I'm not on trial, no matter how hard you try to put me on trial."

An attorney for Willis made one last attempt to keep her off the stand this week, but after defense attorney Craig Gillen argued the case "cries out for her testimony."

In a hot pink dress, and visibly displeased, Willis took the stand eager to tell her story, uninterrupted and had choice words for the defense attorney questioning her.

I watched her testimony today.

She did herself no favors; she came off as having an attitude, and ended up twisting herself into a pretzel.

I bet her attorney was saying under his breath: “Shut the !@#$ up! Just answer the questions!”

She’s the smartest person in the room, and she’s untouchable. Just ask her. She’ll tell you.

Boy oh, boy, did I nail it or what! Even before she took the stand, I said the mediapukes will circle the wagon and call her a hero ..do we know the mediaVOMITS or what? Rush would’ve had a field day with the pukes! I still mourn that man, I miss him so terribly much. When God took him, he gave the evil demonic left a gift. HUGE VOID FOR OUR SIDE…😢

"I am not on trial"

Live by the sword, die by the sword. You use law as a weapon and it may catch up to you.

She was a disaster for all to see. She kept talking when it wasn’t called for - thinking/hoping it would throw the court off stride. Very much on the defensive and arrogant. I think the judge saw through her. Personally I thought Trump could have found better attorneys for trying the case. Not one of them was impressive IMO. One had trouble keeping names straight and the female attorney seemed confused.

Wade wasn’t a bad witness...he refused to answer a question about where he keeps money in his house while Willis seemed proud to announce that she ALWAYS keeps cash in her house. WHAT????? Always travels WITH CASH and repeated several times it’s necessary when in foreign countries for negotiating prices...didn’t know what continent Belize or Aruba were on...Said she took Wade to Belize for his 50th birthday but handed him $2500.00 cash to pay for her share of the trip - VERY CONFUSING!

Maybe it’s a good idea she’s an attorney and not an accountant.

Bad, bad show but that’s good for Trump!!!!

She’ not on trial, she’s totally guilty, in many ways.
