Fani Willis, the district attorney for Fulton County, addresses claims that she had an improper contact with the special prosecutor tasked with looking into and possibly filing RICO charges against the former president Donald Trump and his associates. It has come to light that Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor in this case, was paid a substantial sum in excess of $600,000.
Willis returned to the public limelight following the incident when she spoke to churchgoers at Big Bethel AME.

Willis gave a speech that appeared to endorse the choice to employ Wade. The Fulton County DA said she hired three special prosecutors for the case and made sure they were all paid equally on an hourly basis, even though she didn’t mention his name.
“Lord, your flawed, hard-headed, and imperfect child, I’m a little confused. I appointed three special counselors. Is my right to do? Paid them all the same hourly rate? They only each had one,” she said. “I hired one white woman, a good personal friend and great lawyer. A superstar, I tell you. I hired one white man, brilliant, my friend, and a great lawyer. And I hired one black man, another superstar, a great friend, and a great lawyer.”
Willis continued, implying that Wade is the sole reason he is being condemned because he is black—a recurring theme in her comments. “Oh Lord, they’re going to be mad when I call them out on this nonsense. First thing they say, ‘Oh, she’s going to play the race card now.’ But no God, isn’t it them who’s playing the race card when they only question one?” Willis said. “Isn’t it them playing the race card when they constantly think I need someone from some other jurisdiction in some other state to tell me how to do a job I’ve been doing almost 30 years.”
She continued, saying that Wade had “impeccable credentials,” before implying once more that there is racial bias behind any criticism of him. “Wasn’t it them that attacked this lawyer of impeccable credentials? The black man I chose has been a judge more than 10 years, run a private practice more than 20, represented businesses in civil litigation,” she said, adding “I ain’t done ya’ll.”
“How come God, the same black man I hired, was acceptable when a Republican in another county hired him and paid him twice the rate? Oh y’all didn’t hear me. Another county, the elected official, has the authority to pay him twice the rate. Why is the white male Republican’s judgment good enough, but the black female Democrats’ not?”
“You cannot expect black women to be perfect and save the world,” Willis went on to say. “The Lord is completing us. We are not perfect. We need your prayers. We need to be allowed to stumble. We need grace. With that kind of support, we will move mountains and do Jesus’ will, stumbling all the way.”

More and more Republicans in Georgia—both state and federal—are calling for a comprehensive probe of Willis’ activities. In addition, Joycelyn’s divorce case from Wade has resulted in a subpoena for Willis. In this instance, Joycelyn alleges her husband has concealed nearly $700,000 in income.
