Fani Willis’ Father, an Ex-Black Panther, Supports Daughter’s Relationship with Prosecutor

At a hearing on Friday, the father of Fani Willis—the lead prosecutor in the Georgia election case against 45th President Donald Trump—was asked to give a statement.
According to newly released recordings, John C. Floyd III, the father of the Georgia district attorney, was a well-known Black Panther who referred to the police as the “enemy.”
Academic scholars were informed by Floyd that, during the 1960s, he saw the police in his hometown of Los Angeles as an “occupying army” and “nothing but trouble.”
80-year-old Floyd also referred to a well-known White politician of the time, Jesse M. Unruh, as a “Texas cracker.” Furthermore, he implied that he was a believer in the conspiracy that claims that the CIA killed Malcolm X, according to The New York Post.
According to Willis, who purportedly speaks with her father “up to ten times a day,” his principles still serve as a source of guidance for her. However, she avoided talking specifically about his time as a Black Panther.
As a judge considered whether Willis should be dismissed in the case for her clear misconduct, he was questioned over his daughter’s relationship with the special prosecutor that she assigned to the case.
However, according to John Floyd, his daughter did not date Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor, but rather a “disk jockey” between 2019 and 2020.
He also said that she was forced to leave her home in 2021 as a result of threats from the disk jockey.
Mike Roman, one of Donald Trump’s several co-defendants in the case, has claimed that Willis profited monetarily from her association with Wade, in addition to keeping their secret romance hidden from colleagues.
To ascertain the veracity of such claims and whether they constitute misconduct, the court in the case has heard testimony regarding the relationship in detail for two days, including topics such as how Willis celebrated her 50th birthday and her “refusal to accept checks.”
In the event that Roman’s assertions are supported by the evidence, Judge Scott McAfee has stated that he may remove Willis from the Trump case. Her removal would most likely force the prosecution of Trump to be delayed for months at the very least, potentially until after November’s presidential election, where he is assumed to be the 2024 Republican nominee.
This is because a new team would have to take over the case.
Following his daughter’s emotionally combative testimony on the stand for most of Thursday, Floyd gave his testimony on Friday morning.
He stated in the Fulton County courthouse that he would “sometimes every day” visit her lover, the disc jockey. He remembered cleaning up after him, who he said would leave “paraphernalia” all over his daughter’s house.
Floyd also said that from December 2019 to December 2022, he resided at Willis’s residence in south Fulton County. He maintained to the attorneys that, up until 2023, he had never met Wade.
“I just found out when other folks found out,” Floyd said.
Floyd’s testimony differed from the testimony made on Thursday by Willis’s former coworker and friend, Robin Bryant-Yeartie, who claimed that their relationship began prior to the Trump case in 2019. Yeartie said in court that she had “no doubt” the couple’s relationship began in 2019, having personally seen them “hugging and kissing” years earlier.
In order to determine the extent to which the connection impacted the case, the chronology is crucial.
Following a multi-year investigation, Willis accused Trump and eighteen co-defendants in August 2023 of plotting to have the Georgia results of the 2020 election thrown out.
In November 2021, the same year she was appointed chief prosecutor of the county, she appointed Wade as a special prosecutor on the case.
Attorneys have claimed that Wade covered her travel costs for opulent trips, such as those to Belize and Aruba.
Early in February, Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade admitted their close connection, but they refuted any conflict of interest or improper financial behavior.
According to Willis, she used cash that was held in her house to reimburse Wade for vacation costs. Floyd told the court that he also kept cash on hand in his house, noting that this was “common among Black households.”
Attorneys attempting to remove Willis from office frequently questioned him about his time living at her house.

What allegations have been made against Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis and Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade regarding their personal relationship, and how might it affect their involvement in the case?
Title: Fulton District Attorney’s Father Testifies in Georgia Election Case, Unveiling Controversial Past
Introduction
In the ongoing case of the State of Georgia v. Donald John Trump, John Floyd, the father of Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis, recently provided a statement during a hearing. This article explores Floyd’s testimony and the controversy surrounding his past as a prominent Black Panther. The judge presiding over the case is considering whether DA Fani Willis and Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade should be disqualified due to alleged deception about their personal relationship.
The Controversial Testimony
Newly released recordings have revealed that John C. Floyd III, the father of Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis, was a well-known Black Panther who regarded the police as the “enemy.” During the 1960s, Floyd considered the police in his hometown of Los Angeles as an “occupying army” and “nothing but trouble.” Additionally, he referred to a well-known White politician, Jesse M. Unruh, as a “Texas cracker.” Floyd also expressed his belief in the conspiracy theory that the CIA was involved in the assassination of Malcolm X.
Impact on Willis and the Case
According to Fani Willis, her father’s principles continue to guide her, but she avoided discussing his time as a Black Panther explicitly. As the court evaluated whether Willis should be dismissed due to alleged misconduct, questions were raised regarding her relationship with the special prosecutor, Nathan Wade. Floyd clarified that Willis did not date Wade but rather had a relationship with a “disk jockey” between 2019 and 2020. He further mentioned that Willis was forced to leave her home in 2021 due to threats from the disk jockey.
Allegations and Possible Ramifications
One of Donald Trump’s co-defendants, Mike Roman, claimed that Willis financially benefited from her association with Wade while keeping their alleged romance concealed from colleagues. The court has been examining the veracity of these claims and whether they constitute misconduct. If proven true, Judge Scott McAfee stated that he may remove Willis from the Trump case. Such a removal would likely result in a significant delay in the prosecution of Trump, potentially extending it until after the 2024 presidential election.
Floyd’s Testimony and Conflicting Accounts
During his testimony on Friday morning, Floyd disclosed that he used to visit the disk jockey who was romantically involved with his daughter, sometimes on a daily basis. He also mentioned cleaning up after the disk jockey and revealed that he lived at Willis’s residence in south Fulton County from December 2019 to December 2022. However, Floyd claimed that he only found out about Wade when others became aware of the relationship.
This testimony contradicted the account provided on Thursday by Robin Bryant-Yeartie, Willis’s former coworker and friend, who stated that the relationship began in 2019, prior to the Trump case. Bryant-Yeartie testified that she saw Willis and Wade “hugging and kissing” several years earlier.
Conclusion
The ongoing hearing has shed light on the controversial past of John Floyd and raised questions about the relationship between Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis and Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade. The judge’s decision regarding their disqualification from the case could have significant implications, potentially delaying the prosecution of Donald Trump. As the proceedings continue, it remains to be seen how this testimony and the conflicting accounts will impact the outcome of the Georgia election case.
