"Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis lost her temper on the stand as she faces allegations of financially benefiting from hiring Nathan Wade as special prosecutor in the case against former President Donald Trump and others.
"Trump’s co-defendant, Michael Roman, said Willis should be disqualified. It’s called a conflict of interest.
"Willis’s body language said it all before she took the stand: rage, nervousness, and trembling.
"Willis sparred with defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant from the start, leading Judge Scott McAfee to call for a five-minute recess.
"The testimony took a major turn when Willis’s former friend said Wade and Willis began their relationship in 2019 and not 2022. See, if it began in 2022, it wouldn’t seem as suspicious because Willis charged Trump in 2021.
"But 2019…that is something else. Willis and Wade also didn’t disclose their relationship:
Roman alleged in court filings last month that Willis should be disqualified from the case, claiming that she financially benefited from hiring Wade because of their personal relationship, and said she had “some choice words” about Roman’s motion, calling some of the allegations “dishonest” and “extremely offensive.” At one point, Willis held up a printed copy of the allegations against her in both hands and turned to the judge yelling, “this is a lie!”
Willis also called defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant’s interests “contrary to democracy.”. . .
“It is a LIE! It is a LIE!”
