There have been a lot of people talking about Fani Willis lately, and it's not about how well her case is going. Unfortunately for her, all spotlight is beaming directly at her.
According to Politico, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has confirmed a personal relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade but asserts that it has no impact on her handling of the case against Donald Trump. In response to efforts by Trump and co-defendants to disqualify her due to this relationship, Willis deems it a "public relations strategy" designed to obstruct the prosecution.
In a 176-page filing, she refuted claims of a conflict of interest and denies any improper enrichment from the case. Willis argued that her relationship with Wade did not violate ethics rules and calls attempts to disqualify her office "malicious."
The case, involving an indictment of Trump and 18 others under Georgia's organized crime statute, is one of four criminal cases facing the former president. Willis defended Wade's credentials and billing practices, urging the judge to cancel the scheduled hearing on misconduct allegations. The filing also mentioned other attorney relationships in the case but dismisses them as non-controversial.
Here's what some notable people were saying about it all:
Benny Johnson reposted Donald Trump's post from Truth Social on X.
Vivek Ramaswamy, former candidate the Republican Primary, posted on X his disapproval over the blantantly bias ways things are handled when certain people are caught doing wrong.
Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene posted on X her support for calls for a Judiciary Investigation into Fani willis.
A whole spectrum of people had lots to say about this matter, while Fani Willis's X account has been silent. She did admit guilt, but simultaneously denied any wrong doing.
