Fani Willis hearing continues in Trump election fraud case: Watch live
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is set to return to the witness stand on Friday, as a case that was supposed to be about efforts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results has become embroiled in controversy over the love lives of the prosecutors seeking to hold former President Trump accountable.
During fiery and sometimes combative testimony Thursday, Willis was grilled by lawyers about her romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, which defense attorneys allege presents a conflict of interest that should force Willis off the case.
Willis forcefully pushed back against claims of impropriety, at times getting visibly upset as lawyers questioned her about everything from her finances to trips she has taken with Wade.
