Fani Willis defends Trump prosecution at contentious Georgia hearing

Fulton county DA hits back at Republican opponents who investigated her over relationship with special prosecutor

Fulton county district attorney Fani Willis testified on Wednesday at a combative Georgia state senate committee about her prosecution of Donald Trump for election interference.

The state senate created the special committee in early 2024 to investigate Willis after the revelation that she had a romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, special prosecutor in the Trump case, which ultimately derailed the prosecution of the now-re-elected president.
