Former President Donald Trump on Saturday called out embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over money involved in what he called a “sexcapade” with her former lover, special prosecutor Nathan Wade. He accused her of lying.
“Where did Hwan-hee get all that cash?” playing cards I wondered about his Truth Social.
Mr. Willis and Mr. Wade had been scheduled to be indicted on charges of Mr. Trump’s election interference in Georgia, but the matter was the subject of a hearing by Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, and the investigation involved their secret relationship and the benefits it provided. The question is whether it will cause a conflict.
Lawyers for Mr. Trump and his co-defendants allege that Mr. Willis paid Mr. Wade large sums of money for his work and then took an unfair advantage when he paid for their vacations.
Willis said he reimbursed Wade in cash.
“There was no way she would have given the money back to her boyfriend, Prosecutor Nathan Wade,” Trump wrote.
“She realized that her ‘sexcapades’ were paid for by people in Georgia and made up the story about the cash. Again, where was the cash and where did it come from?”
“The fact is,” he continued, “no cash was paid. It was just an excuse she made after she was caught. Until this is determined, the case cannot be closed.”
Mr. Trump’s legal team faced off for the final time Friday in an Atlanta courtroom with lawyers from the Fulton County Prosecutor’s Office, making closing arguments before a judge decides whether to remove Mr. Willis and Mr. Wade from the criminal racketeering case against them. went. president.
“In any case, they were lovers and friends long before this witch hunt began,” Trump also wrote on Saturday.
“They wanted money and fame! They worked with Biden’s Justice Department (spent many days with them in Washington, D.C.) to go after me, Crooked Joe’s opponent. That’s terrible! This case must be dismissed, but it is a great shame for Georgia.”
Willis and Wade admitted to their secret relationship after it was exposed in January, but claim their relationship became official in 2022 after filing a lawsuit against the former president. .
But witnesses, including former close friends and employees of Mr. Willis and Mr. Wade’s former lawyer, claimed they knew in 2019 that the lawyers were close.
Willis’ removal from the prosecution team could depend on whether Judge Scott McAfee finds there is evidence that the relationship began before the two admitted they were lovers. .
He said during adjournment Friday that he hoped to make a decision within the next two weeks.
