Fani Willis claims she’s ‘oversexualized’ and slams media for ‘wanting to tear down a sister’ amid chaos over Trump case
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said Thursday during an appearance at a church that she has been “attacked and oversexualized” — criticizing the media as her election fraud case against former President Donald Trump went off the rails.
Willis spoke to the congregation at Turner Chapel AME Church in Marietta, Georgia, with her ex-lover, former Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade, in the audience: according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
That relationship led to Trump’s election interference case being stayed in Georgia, a Georgia appeals court ruled last week, to allow for a challenge based on Willis’ affair with Wade.
“That same media will take any opportunity to take down a sister,” Willis told churchgoers.
She didn’t bring up the Trump case, her relationship with Wade or the ongoing lawsuit during the speech — though she did use the address to bash one of Trump’s top allies: House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan Ohio.

She did not mention Jordan by name, but referred to him as a “clown.”
“He’s been there for 17 years and has passed zero laws,” the Democrat claimed.
The Jordanian Judiciary Commission has been investigating Willis’ election fraud case in an attempt to undermine it for the benefit of Trump and the other fourteen co-defendants, including Mark Meadow and Rudy Giuliani, among others.
They were accused of a plot to appoint a series of pro-Trump fake electors, with Trump also caught on tape asking Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger to find “11,780 votes,” the exact number that was needed to overtake President Joe Biden’s lead in the Peach. Stands.
That case — like the federal election fraud case brought by special counsel Jack Smith and the federal classified documents case in Florida — is now in limbo.
Georgia Judge Scott McAfee ruled to let Willis stay in the case, following court hearings that detailed lavish vacations and angry disputes over when the relationship with Wade began.
Wade was fired from the case.

In an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Wednesday night, Wade said he remained “good friends” with Willis.
When Collins pressed him for additional details about the beginning of their romantic relationship, his media consultant suddenly interrupted the question and answer.
Wade is ordered to turn off his microphone and huddles with the gentleman in the corner of the room as CNN’s cameras continue to roll.
When he returned to his seat, Collins pressured him again as the relationship began.
“I believe the public has gotten a clear picture through the testimony and other interviews that this is clearly just a distraction,” Wade then responded.
‘It’s not relevant in this case. And I think we need to focus more on the facts and the charges of the case,” the former special prosecutor added.
The CNN journalist then asked whether Wade’s romantic relationship with Willis compromised the case.
“And therein lies the question of why we don’t go into the work of the appellate court or a higher court, because it’s a pending issue before them,” Wade responded.
He said they should step back and let the higher courts make their decisions, continuing to refuse to say when his relationship with Willis began and ended.
With the Georgia case in disarray and the other two cases against the ex-president also on hold, Trump only faced court during the New York hush money trial ahead of the November election.
Late last month, Trump was indicted on all 34 counts of corporate data fraud over hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
