Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Saturday defended herself in her first comments since a judge ruled she will not be disqualified from the Trump election interference case because of her affair with a former special prosecutor.
“I don’t feel like my reputation needs to be reclaimed,” Willis told CNN at an Easter egg hunt after she was asked how she felt in the wake of the saga that exposed her former affair with Nathan Wade, whom she hired as a special prosecutor in the Trump case.
“Let’s say it for the record, I’m not embarrassed by anything that I’ve done,” she added. “I guess my greatest crime is that I had a relationship with a man but that’s not something I find embarrassing in any way. I know I have not done anything that's illegal.”
