Fulton County prosecutors will not call District Attorney Fani Willis to the witness stand for additional questioning Friday, after she
forcefully defended herself and accused defense attorneys of lying as part of a bid to disqualify her and her office from prosecuting the
Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump.
Willis testified for roughly two hours Thursday in the evidentiary hearing held before Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee, during which she fiercely pushed back on claims from lawyers representing Trump and several of his co-defendants that she engaged in an improper relationship with Wade, whom she hired to work on the case, and financially benefited from it.
A lawyer for Michael Roman, a former Trump campaign official, first
raised the allegations about Willis and Wade last month and is seeking to have prosecutors involved in the case disqualified and the indictment dismissed. Trump and his allies are accused of orchestrating a scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. They have pleaded not guilty to all charges.
