Fulton County DA Fani Willis is finally speaking out against accusations that she hired a romantic partner to prosecute former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump; she says the attacks are racially motivated.
From NEWSMAX:
Speaking Sunday at the Big Bethel AME Church, Willis did not directly address the controversy surrounding her relationship with [proseuctor Nathan Wade] but instead emphasized his qualifications.
Willis suggested the allegations might be racially motivated, saying, “I’m a little confused. I appointed three special counselors. It’s my right to do, paid them all the same hourly rate. They only attack one.”
She highlighted the scrutiny on Wade, who is Black, compared to her other appointments, adding, “God, isn’t it them who’s playing the race card when they only question one?”
Willis suggested racial biases may be influencing the criticism against her and Wade and challenged the fairness of the allegations.
