Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis is set to continue testifying on Friday at an evidentiary hearing about allegations she had an „improper“ and disqualifying affair with a special prosecutor.
A hearing to hash out evidence regarding allegations that Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis had an „improper“ affair with a colleague prosecuting the case against former President Trump will move into the second day of witness testimony on Friday.
On Thursday, Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee presided over a marathon, and at some points contentious, day of testimony in which lawyers for defendants in the case grilled witnesses in an attempt to show that Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade were romantically involved when Willis hired him, and that she financially benefited from the relationship.
The courtroom hit a boiling point Thursday afternoon when Willis herself took the witness stand, after several attempts to avoid it, and was so combative that the judge had to step in multiple times to cool tensions.
