Georgia DA Fani Willis accuses witness of betraying their friendship
Fulton County District Attorney Fires Back at Former Employee in Trump Case
On Thursday, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis responded fiercely to damaging testimony from a former employee regarding her relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade. Wade was hired for the 2020 election interference case against former President Donald Trump in late 2021.
The former employee, Robin Bryant-Yeartie, testified earlier in the day that Willis and Wade had been involved in a romantic relationship from 2019 to at least 2022, contradicting Willis’ claim that their personal association began in 2022. Bryant-Yeartie also provided alleged details about their affectionate behavior.
After Wade took the stand, Willis appeared in court and vehemently denied dating him until around March 2022. She claimed to have reimbursed him in cash for recent years of travel together and stated that they were no longer in a relationship.
While Willis acknowledged knowing Bryant-Yeartie for decades, she asserted, “I have not spoken to Robin in over a year,” which aligns with Bryant-Yeartie’s testimony that she resigned from the DA’s office under threat of termination.

“I certainly do not consider her a friend now. I think that she — you know, there’s a saying no good deed goes unpunished and I think that she’d betrayed our friendship,” Willis declared. The DA recalled that she began dating Wade in early 2022, possibly around April, and mentioned reimbursing him with cash kept at her house.
The hearing took place amidst an attempt by Trump and his co-defendant Mike Roman to disqualify the prosecutors and dismiss the case, alleging an improper relationship that allowed Willis and Wade to profit from the prosecution at taxpayers’ expense. Willis hired Wade one day after he filed for divorce, claiming his marriage had long been “broken” — a series of events he insisted was “purely coincidental.”
Willis became agitated at times, finding a motion that implied she slept with Wade on their first meeting “highly offensive.” She denied being a “hostile witness,” emphasizing her willingness to testify, and accused Ashleigh Merchant, an attorney for Roman, of having interests contrary to democracy.

Trump currently faces four criminal cases and civil litigation as he campaigns for a second term in the White House. He has consistently denied any wrongdoing and has labeled the prosecutors’ actions as a politically motivated “witch hunt.”
What ethical guidelines did Willis follow while working on the Trump case, and how does she respond to allegations of misconduct?
W, this is just another attempt to tarnish my reputation and distract from the important work we are doing here in Fulton County.”

The claims made by the former employee, Bryant-Yeartie, add another layer of complexity to the already controversial case.
