Key witness Robin Bryant-Yeartie gave evidence that appeared to contradict Fani Willis’ account.
A self-described former «good friend» of Fani Willis has said that the Fulton County District Attorney started dating the special prosecutor she hired to prosecute former president Donald Trump’s Georgia election interference case in 2019.
Robin Bryant-Yeartie testified that Willis and Wade began dating shortly after meeting at a conference in late 2019, contradicting their assertion that the relationship did not begin until after Wade was hired to work on the case in 2021.
Yeartie said she has «no doubt» that the romantic relationship began before Wade was hired by Willis’s office.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee scheduled the hearing on Thursday to hear arguments over whether Willis should be disqualified from the case because of a «personal relationship» with attorney Nathan Wade.
Willis denies any claims of misconduct.
«You have no doubt that their romantic relationship was in effect from 2019 until the last time you spoke with her?» Alison Merchant, an attorney representing Trump co-defendant Michael Roman.
