A Georgia district attorney accused of hiring her lover to prosecute former President Trump broke her silence on the controversy, saying she and the prosecutor were targeted because they are black.
“They only attacked one,” Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis Sunday at Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta. “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?”
The comments were Willis’ first time addressing the allegations publicly — but she neither confirmed nor denied the claims lobbed at her and special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who helped secure an indictment against the former Republican president in an election interference case.
She called Wade “a great friend and a great lawyer,” along with a “superstar,” but failed to mention him by name once during her more than 30 minute speech, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The pair were accused by Trump co-defendant Michael Roman of having a “clandestine” and “improper” affair when appointments were made for the 2020 election interference case.
Roman, a former official on the Trump 2020 campaign, argued in a court filing last week that the integrity of the case had been compromised by their alleged affair and asked that all charges against him be dropped.
“The district attorney chose to appoint her romantic partner, who at all times relevant to this prosecution has been a married man,” the filing read.
Roman contended in the filing that Wade used some of the $654,000 in legal fees he’d earned on the case to take Willis on vacations to “Napa Valley, California, Florida and the Caribbean.”

Play the ‘race card’, reinforce the stereotype . . .
Let’s see.....said Black women can’t be expected to be perfect.
Now cries racism.
Yep. She’s guilty.
Ain’t Affirmative Action wonderful.
Why is her affair and illegality racially motivated?
Playing strip poker does not require a race card to be played.
Well, that didn’t take long.
.
Seems someone IS above the Law.
Who knew?
Dems little chant is a Lie.
You’d think she’d deny the claim before resorting to the race card.
It’s always a black church that every corrupt, weasel Democrat goes running to in order to defend themselves and blast Republicans as evil and racist.
.
Whenever a DA speaks about grace and Healing and skin color - the Big Scam is on.
Visits to black churches, pass around the trash can, slavery dog whistles, we need you to channel your Hate of white people.
This is like Al Sharpton deciding who should and who shouldn’t be charged for evading Taxes.
So, you got the job Because you were a person of color.
Hey when you fuvk up, you say it’s because of your color.
Then were you hired So you could fuvk up?
If you’re having an affair, you ain’t black!
Ha ha lol
Of course it is, Fani. Everyone knows black peepo don’t have to obey the law. Keep on keepin’ on!
Everything is racist. Even your screen name. Diogenes was a white european philosopher, ergo, Racist.
Sorry. Your race card credit limit has been exceeded...
Yeah, but besides that, she’s guilty as hell.
Sure, that’s clearly what’s going on. They’re black, so any criticism of them is racist.
Sometimes, however, there’s a veneer of a complaint based on racial disparities or something that, however unfounded. But here, she’s literally just playing the race card without even any attempted justification.
Is that a denial?
The race card is the first refuge of a scoundrel. It’s right out of the CRT playbook. Blacks are not responsible for their behavior.
Actually, fat fanny’s persecution of Trump is racist. She wants the scalp of a rich, white man to parade around in the black community. Same motivation as the fat AG in NY.
