Former President Donald Trump recently lambasted “weak” questioning from defense attorneys during the first day of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ disqualification hearing in the Georgia election interference case against the former president.
Trump took to his Truth Social account and wrote, “Does anybody really believe that Fani Willis paid cash to her ‘lover’ whenever they took expensive ‘trips’ together. Really? Where did she get the CASH? Pretty weak questioning yesterday!!! I guess they don’t want to insult her. No way she can explain any of this corruption away!!!”
Willis is bringing charges against Trump for allegedly interfering in the 2020 election. Willis’s friendship with Nathan Wade, the lawyer Willis recruited to handle the case as lead prosecutor, is the reason behind the attorneys attempting to get Willis disqualified, according to Michael Roman’s legal team. Defense attorneys claim that the two received financial benefits from taxpayer funds. Willis has refuted any misconduct.
Wade stated in his evidence on Thursday that Willis paid him back in cash for the vacations they took together. Ashleigh Merchant, Roman’s lawyer, put Wade under pressure about how these visits were funded. In response, he said that the trip costs had been divided about equally between the two and that Willis had paid for any reimbursement in cash. This indicates that these payments are not reflected in any credit card statements.
Both legal experts and Trump supporters have raised concerns about these cash reimbursements.
