Embattled Fulton County DA Fani Willis skipped a Democratic Party debate over the weekend, instead choosing to attend something called the “self-care fair” with Atlanta City Councilwoman Andrea Boone in honor of Crime Victims’ Rights Week.
Willis’ opponent, Christian Wise Smith, took the stage anyway and called out Willis for her unprofessionalism in hiring former romantic partner Nathan Wade as the special prosecutor on the Trump prosecution earlier this year.
That issue is important to us in Fulton County and a lot of people across the country,” Smith said while “standing alone on the debate stage.
“When you pay one attorney nearly $1 million to handle one case, that leaves the rest of us vulnerable. That hurts everyone in Fulton County,” he said.
From The New York Post:
Though the scandalous DA did not show up for the debate — despite early voting starting Monday — a Fox 5 Atlanta poll has her leading the race by a staggering 70 points.
The primary election for Democratic voters is set for May 21. The winner will face off against a Republican candidate in November.
Willis hired the Atlanta-based private attorney as a special prosecutor in the case against Trump and 18 of his associates over their alleged actions following the 2020 election.
His contract started on Nov. 1, 2021, with Wade filing for divorce from his wife of 26 years, Joycelyn Wade, the following day.
