Last week, a wild two-day hearing took place in the Fannie Willis misconduct case, leaving many eagerly awaiting a decision. The Fulton County D.A. in Georgia, along with her lover Nathan Wade, faced allegations of misconduct, including an affair and lies told under oath.
The judge heard dramatic testimony about their romantic relationship, lavish trips, and alleged deception. Witnesses testified to observing behaviors common among romantic partners, such as hugging and kissing. One witness confirmed having had sexual relations with Ms. Willis by a specific date.
Key witness Terrence Bradley, a former law partner of special prosecutor Nathan Wade, provided crucial testimony. He initially cited a disagreement related to Wade's divorce as the reason for ending their professional partnership. However, under questioning, he admitted to more serious allegations, including sexual assault.
DA Fannie Willis denied becoming romantically involved with Attorney Wade until several months after hiring him. The defense aims to prove an earlier start to their relationship, alleging that Wade rewarded Willis with extravagant travel.
Former President Trump referenced the case on the campaign trail, questioning the source of funds for the alleged lavish trips. The ongoing litigation has drawn criticism for distracting from important campaign issues and potentially impacting Republican chances in upcoming elections.
