Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis spoke at a church service defending the special prosecutor she brought in for the election interference case against former President Donald Trump amid allegations of a romantic relationship between them.
Willis Defended the special prosecutor she brought in for the case involving election meddling against Trump, and made remarks at a church on Sunday morning that seemed to acknowledge for the first time the affair allegations made against her last week.
On Friday, Jordan (R-Ohio) sent a letter to the man Fulton County DA Fani Willis is accused of having an affair with, Nathan J. Wade, asking for his assistance “with their oversight.”
“Based on recent reports, we believe that you possess documents and information about the coordination of the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office (FCDAO) with other politically motivated investigations and prosecutions and the potential misuse of federal funds,” Jordan wrote.
In August 2023, Willis filed numerous indictments against former President Donald Trump and his associates on charges of attempting to void the results of Georgia’s 2020 election.
“Although Ms. Willis has so far refused to cooperate with our oversight of the FCDAO’s coordination with other politically motivated prosecutions, invoices that you submitted for payment by the FCDAO and made public as part of this court filing highlight this collusion,” Jordan wrote.
Wade was one of the people Willis hired to help with her Trump investigation and subsequent indictment.
The DA repeatedly referred to herself as “flawed” and “imperfect” during her speech on Sunday.
Willis also said that she was “a little confused” as to why so many people were questioning the choice to enlist multiple special prosecutors in the case.
She also described Wade as a “great friend” who received the same compensation as others and went into great detail to defend his “impeccable credentials” for the position, implying that the criticism of him was based on race.
“I appointed three special counselors. It’s my right to do. Paid them all the same hourly rate,” Willis said. “They only attack one. I hired one white woman: a good personal friend and great lawyer, a superstar, I tell you. I hired one white man: brilliant, my friend, and a great lawyer. And I hired one Black man, another superstar, a great friend, and a great lawyer.”
Willis never denied or directly addressed the allegations she and Wade had an inappropriate relationship.
During her speech, Willis spoke about the challenges she has faced as the Fulton County District Attorney and the Trump case prosecutor.
She talked about how she felt “lonely,” “isolated,” “backstabbed,” and that she was forced to leave her house due to ongoing threats of death.
Willis read a letter she said she wrote to God this week in which she said felt “unworthy” of the job.
“Lord, even right now, I continue to feel unworthy of the honor,” she said. “A divorced single mom who doesn’t belong to the right social groups. Doesn’t necessarily come from the right family. Doesn’t have the right pedigree. The assignment was just too high for me.”
She continued stating that she and her family members’ lives have been “threatened so regularly, I now think it’s not normal if I don’t have two death threats a week.”
“They call me the N-word more than they call me Fani,” she said. “I thank you for every attack that makes me stronger.”
In August, Trump and 18 others pleaded not guilty to all charges in the indictment for alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state of Georgia.

Despite acknowledging the affair allegations, what impact do Willis’s statements about imperfection and the challenges she has faced as the Fulton County District Attorney have on the criticism surrounding the choice to enlist multiple special prosecutors and defend Wade’s credentials
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis recently spoke at a church service to defend the special prosecutor she brought in for the election interference case against former President Donald Trump. This comes amid allegations of a romantic relationship between Willis and the special prosecutor.
In her speech, Willis acknowledged the affair allegations for the first time, stating that “you cannot expect black women to be perfect. We need to be allowed to stumble. We need grace. We are all sinners.” This statement comes after allegations that she paid her lover to prosecute Trump, bringing the case’s integrity into question.
Congressman Jim Jordan sent a letter to Nathan J. Wade, the man accused of having an affair with Willis, asking for his assistance with their oversight. Jordan believes that Wade possesses documents and information about the coordination of the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office with other politically motivated investigations and prosecutions, as well as the potential misuse of federal funds.
Willis filed numerous indictments against Trump and his associates in August 2023, accusing them of attempting to void the results of Georgia’s 2020 election. Jordan’s letter highlights the collusion that allegedly occurred during the investigation.
Nathan J. Wade was one of the people hired by Willis to help with her Trump investigation and subsequent indictment. During her speech, Willis repeatedly referred to herself as “flawed” and “imperfect.” She questioned why there were so many questions about the choice to enlist multiple special prosecutors and defended Wade’s “impeccable credentials.”
Despite addressing the criticism around the choice of special prosecutors, Willis never directly denied or addressed the allegations of an inappropriate relationship with Wade. Instead, she focused on the challenges she has faced as the Fulton County District Attorney, feeling “lonely,” “isolated,” and forced to leave her house due to ongoing threats.
She even mentioned writing a letter to God, expressing feelings of unworthiness for the job. Willis stated that her family members’ lives have been regularly threatened, with racial slurs directed at her.
In August, Trump and 18 others pleaded not guilty to all charges in the indictment for alleged efforts to overturn the results of Georgia’s 2020 presidential election.
As the case unfolds, it will be interesting to see how Willis and the special prosecutor handle the allegations against them and whether they will impact the outcome of the trial. Stay informed by subscribing to our breaking news blasts for free.
