Taking the pulpit on Sunday at the Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta for a 35-minute speech, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis denied any wrongdoing without directly addressing or denying the accusations made against her by the Trump camp, the Washington Post (gift link which includes video) reports
One of Trump’s co-conspirators alleged in a court filing that Willis and an outside investigator on the case, Nathan Wade, had an inappropriate affair; the filing offered no evidence of the claim. Willis suggested racism was at the core of the allegations, including those by Georgia Republican anthropoid Marjorie Taylor Greene.
“They are going to be mad when I call them out on this nonsense,” Willis said. “First thing they say, ‘Oh, she’s going to play the race card.’ But … isn’t it them playing the race card when they think I need someone in some other jurisdiction in some other state to tell me how to do a job I’ve been doing almost 30 years?”
