FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - Former President Donald Trump has responded to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' claim that her "racially charged" speech at Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta on Feb. 14 was not aimed at the election interference case against the former president and the other defendants. The reply, filed on Wednesday in Fulton County Superior Court by Trump's attorneys Steve Sadow and Jennifer Little, aligns with co-defendant Michael Roman's efforts to dismiss Willis and Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade. Roman's motion alleges an "improper, clandestine relationship" and "profiting significantly from this prosecution at the expense of taxpayers."
Trump initially joined Roman's fight to dismiss Willis and Wade with his own motion on Jan. 25. His motion specifically addressed Willis's actions during the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, accusing her of injecting race into the case and fostering racial animus during a speech at historic Bethel AME Church. The motion claimed that Willis's statements would result in substantial prejudice towards the defendants, portraying her pursuit of racially-based sympathy as a "self-inflicted quagmire."
Willis' response called an ‘outright lie’ The reply filed Feb. 7 by Trump asserts that Willis' response to Roman's motion is "preposterous and disingenuous at best, and an outright lie at worst. It is an after-the-fact futile attempt to mislead this Court."
