Robin Yeartie, a former friend of Fani Willis and an employee of the Fulton County District Attorney’s office, said she has “no doubt” that Fani Willis’s relationship with Nathan Wade began in 2019.
This statement directly contradicts Fani Willis and Nathan Wade’s claim that their relationship did not begin until 2022.

NEW: Former Fulton County DA employee and friend of Fani Willis since college says she was definitely in a relationship with Nathan Wade since 2019.
This completely contradicts the filings of Wade and Willis in which they claimed it began in 2022.
A friend of Fulton county district attorney Fani Willis testified just earlier in the Georgia hearing in the criminal election interference case against Donald Trump and co-defendants.
A former Fulton county district attorney’s office employee, Robin Yeartie, testified that Willis’s personal relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade began before he was hired in the election interference case against Trump, the Associated Press reports.
Yeartie’s testimony directly contradicts Willis’s statement that her personal relationship with Wade didn’t begin until after Wade was hired as special prosecutor in the case against Trump and others.
Willis hired outside lawyer Wade to help investigate whether Trump and his allies committed any crimes while trying to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state. Wade has led the team prosecuting the case since an indictment was returned last August.
Willis’ removal would be a stunning development in the most sprawling of the four criminal cases against Trump. An additional delay would likely lessen the chance that a trial would be held before the November election. He is currently the frontrunner to win the Republican nomination for president.
More evidence has been presented against Fani Willis during this case.

A longtime friend of Fulton County (Ga.) District Attorney Fani Willis (D) testified Thursday that Willis began a “romantic” relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade in 2019 — three years prior to when Willis and Wade said they started seeing each other.
Robin Yeartie, a college friend of Willis’s, said the prosecutors’ relationship began shortly after a municipal court conference in October 2019 and remained constant until she stopped speaking with Willis in 2022.
“You have no doubt that their romantic relationship was in effect from 2019 until the last time you spoke with her?” defense lawyer Ashleigh Merchant asked.
“No doubt,” Yeartie replied.
Yeartie testified that she last spoke with Willis in March 2022, after leaving the Fulton County district attorney’s office due to a “situation” in which she was told she could resign or be fired. The incident ended her friendship with Willis, she said.
The testimony is in direct conflict with what Willis and Wade represented in court filings. Wade said in a sworn affidavit that their relationship began in 2022.
Yeartie’s account suggests Willis and Wade began seeing each other romantically before Willis hired Wade to investigate Trump. Defense attorneys say that the Fulton County district attorney has benefited from Wade’s employment.
