Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis exploded in anger while on the
witness stand Thursday, prompting Judge Scott McAfee to step in and call for
a short recess.

Willis grew increasingly rattled as she was being asked by defense attorney
Ashleigh Merchant about her relationship with Nathan Wade, the man Willis
tapped as special prosecutor in her sprawling election interference case
against former former President Donald Trump.

“Let’s be clear, because you’ve lied,” Willis yelled at Merchant, holding up
documents. “It is a lie! It is a lie!”

“You’ve been intrusive into people’s lives,” the DA continued to go after
Merchant. “You think I’m on trial. I’m not on trial no matter how hard you
try to put me on trial.”

Judge McAfee stepped in and called for a five-minute recess, seemingly so
Willis could cool down. And upon returning to the courtroom, the judge
informed Willis that he would be forced to strike her testimony if she
engaged in any more outbursts on the stand.

During another tense moment on the stand, Willis maintained that she was not
being a hostile witness and accused Merchant, Trump co-defendant Michael
Roman’s attorney, of having interests that are “contrary to democracy.”

Willis took the stand in the evidentiary hearing after McAfee, earlier this
week, found that it’s possible Willis and Wade could be “disqualified” in
their case against Trump.

“I think it’s clear that disqualification can occur if evidence is produced
demonstrating an actual conflict or the appearance of one, and the filings
submitted on this issue so far have been presented a conflict in the evidence
that cannot be resolved,” McAfee said.

Notably, Willis has been accused by Roman of having a romantic relationship
with Wade prior to hiring him as special prosecutor and then financially
benefiting from the relationship.

Since Roman’s initial filing, Willis has confirmed that she and Wade did
indeed have a romantic relationship, but insists that no impropriety occurred
and the relationship started after she hired Wade for the Trump case.

Earlier in the hearing, however, a former friend of Willis’ testified that
the DA started seeing Wade in 2019, before she hired him as special
prosecutor.

If McAfee does decide to remove Willis and Wade from the case, it would be up
to the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia to find another prosecutor
to take up the case. That person could potentially continue on Willis’ track
to go after Trump, pursue only some of the charges, or even dismiss the case
altogether.

Fanni is one arrogant person.
Wow!
What a nasty person.
No wonder she had to pay her lover to bang her.
