Trump Lawyers Accuse Georgia DA Fani Willis Of Playing 'The Race Card'
Donald Trump’s lawyers in his Georgia election subversion case requested Monday that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her office be removed from the case, arguing that she led the “intentional injection of false allegations of racism” into court proceedings.
Much of the filing in the Georgia Court of Appeals focused on a speech Willis, who is Black, made at a church in January. In those remarks, Trump’s lawyers argued, she “deliberately chose to ‘play the race’ card, in a calculated effort to bring public condemnation against the accused and deflect public attention away from herself.”
During her church remarks, Willis criticized Trump’s legal team for saying she should be disqualified because she had an improper relationship with a prosecutor she hired. She noted that the prosecutor, Nathan Wade, was the only Black person she’d hired at that level.
“Isn’t it them who’s playing the race card when they only question one?” Willis said before the congregants. “Isn’t it them playing the race card when they constantly think I need someone from some other jurisdiction in some other state to tell me how to do a job I’ve been doing almost 30 years?”
