Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said Saturday that “the train is coming,” referring to her team’s preparation for the case against former President Donald Trump and his 14 co-defendants and whether she was slowed down by attempts to remove her from the case.
Willis, who avoided being disqualified from the election subversion case after more than two months of hearings and court action over her romantic relationship with her lead prosecutor, told CNN she was still working on the case during that time. “While that was going on, we were writing responsive briefs, we were still doing the case in a way that it needed to be done. I don’t feel like we’ve been slowed down at all.
The DA said she feels “more loved” by the community after receiving a wave of negative attention over her relationship with Wade, adding that she has felt specifically supported by women. “I think that women feel like women are treated differently when they’re professionals and they’re proud to see someone that is strong and trying to do the right job,” she said.
