Fani Willis Said Her Whistleblower Posed A Violent Threat to Her Office. Audio Recordings Tell A Different Story.
Free Beacon ^ | 5/7/25 | Andrew Kerr

Posted on 05/07/2025 5:38:59 PM PDT by CFW

A big problem arrived in Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis’s email inbox on the afternoon of Nov. 16, 2021.

It was a legal notice from an attorney representing Amanda Timpson, a former member of Willis’s executive staff who had been blowing the whistle on the district attorney’s office for allegedly trying to mishandle federal grant funds. Willis, the eight-page letter stated, had violated a slew of whistleblower protection laws when she reassigned Timpson to serve as a glorified file clerk following a brief meeting in July 2021 in which the district attorney refused to hear Timpson’s allegations. Timpson believed she had grounds for a lawsuit against Willis, but was willing to drop the matter in return for a modest severance package and a positive letter of recommendation from the district attorney.

Willis had other ideas.

"We are absolutely not settling this claim," she wrote to her deputy chief operating officer, Dexter Bond, and legal counsel, Don Geary, at 7:14 p.m. that evening. Nearly two hours later, at 8:56 p.m., Willis sent another email to Bond and Geary directing them to hop on a conference call with the county attorney. "So much of the letter is inaccurate," Willis wrote, according to records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Willis, who later testified during a deposition in November 2024 that she hardly skimmed the first two paragraphs of the letter, fired Timpson in January 2022 on charges that she was derelict in performing her job duties and posed a physical threat to high-ranking members of her administration. Timpson, however, says she had a spotless employee record, and audio recordings obtained by the Free Beacon show the alleged threats of physical violence appear to be fabrications by Willis’s deputy chief of staff, Epiffany Henry.

From the article:

“Timpson believed she was being set up to fail. The following day, on Nov. 19, 2021, Timpson secretly recorded two meetings, one with Willis and another with Henry (Chief of Staff), and Toole (Deputy D.A.).

Henry said Timpson, during that meeting, expressed a desire to violently attack Cuffee, the Willis official she alleged had tried to misappropriate federal funds. Henry’s allegation, detailed in a memo dated Jan. 28, 2022, was sufficient for Willis to consider Timpson a violent threat to her staff. The district attorney had seven armed investigators escort Timpson out of her office on Jan. 14, 2022.

“Ms. Timpson made comments during staff meetings with myself and DeputyA DA Toole [sic] that she wanted to violently attack her previous supervisor and that ‘I’m from Compton, I don’t know how to response [sic] to emails, I be ready to fight, I want to punch him in the f***ing head,’” Henry wrote in the memo. “I started to fear for my own safety when dealing with Ms. Timpson because she had previously expressed to me that she wanted to be violate [sic] with her other supervisor. I do not take those types of statements lightly.”

Timpson’s recording of that meeting tells a different story. At no point during the 27-minute conversation did she threaten physical harm to anyone, nor did Henry or Toole indicate they felt physically threatened by her.

“Ms. Timpson never threatened violence and Ms. Henry invented words that Amanda never said, making her seem violent when she is not, and then Ms. Henry circulated false statements in a letter,” Timpson’s attorney, Mario Williams, told the Free Beacon.”

I’d like to see a Cage Match between Fani Willis and Letitia James. Just for fun.

Did Fat Fanni ever pay Ashley Merchant the $56,000 she owed her?

If I’m not mistaken, the whistleblower was also black.

ROTFL! Fani is running scared. Why is she still in office? Get rid of her along with NY’s Letty James.

It’s A-OK for big Fani to reward her boyfriend a big paying govt gig so they can go on a taxpayer funded spending spree, right Pam Bondi?

No ethical or legal problems at all, right? That’s what I’m seeing anyway.

Very suitable!

All involved in the lies about the whistleblower (including Epiffany) may end up with criminal charges in connection with this case.
