REVEALED: Fani Willis admits to taking campaign cash and keeping it in her house

The comments were made during the explosive "conflict of interest" hearing that could disqualify Willis from presiding over the Trump 2020 Georgia election case. A judge ordered the hearing after it was revealed that Willis had hired prosecutor, Nathan Wade, whom she had a romantic relationship with, to prosecute former President Trump and his allies.

Trump's co-defendant, Mike Roman, exposed information on the love affair and his attorney filed a motion to dismiss. The motion alleged Wade and Willis had a financial conflict of interest in prosecuting the former president.

While testifying about cash payments made to prosecutor Wade, in which the district attorney told the judge that it's common for her be in possession of large sums of cash, Willis testified on the stand: "When I took out a large amount of money on my first campaign, I kept some of the cash of that. Like, to tell you, I just have cash in my house."

District Attorney Willis did not provide further clarity on what she meant when she said, "I kept some of the cash.” Georgia campaign finance law prohibits candidates from pocketing money meant for their campaigns.

GA Code § 21-5-33 under Chapter 189-5 on disposition of contributions for campaigns states, "Nothing in this Code section shall permit or authorize a candidate to utilize campaign funds for the purpose of making gifts, loans, or investments directly to the candidate." In addition, funds may not be given to family members or friends.

One user commented on the admission made by Willis and wrote on X: "I caught that as well and for personal use thereby admitting under oath she committed campaign finance violations."

"Isn't that a crime? Did she just further incriminate herself?" another questioned.

"Campaign finance violations. The Georgia General Assembly needs to audit her office, and the FBI needs to audit her campaign," added another.

This would not be the first time Willis, who first took office in 2021, has been accused of violating campaign finance laws.

Earlier this month, congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called for a full investigation into allegations that Willis violated the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Act.

In a complaint filed with the Georgia State Ethics Commission, Greene alleged that while Willis was forced to admit that she had a "personal relationship" with Wade, there was much more that she "left out."

"Fani Willis can’t be trusted to fulfill her duties impartially," Greene told The Post Millennial. "Inappropriate, unethical, and potentially illegal behavior has plagued her investigation from the outset. How can the public trust a prosecutor who abuses her office for personal gain while targeting her political opponents? Fani Willis’ failure to disclose luxury vacations allegedly paid for by her secret boyfriend using taxpayer money is a scandal of epic proportions. It’s no surprise a shady prosecutor like Fani Willis would launch a political prosecution of President Donald J. Trump."

Willis, Greene wrote in her complaint, "stands credibly accused of using Fulton County and federal COVID funds to pay her unqualified, secret boyfriend Nathan Wade $250 per hour to collude with the Biden White House counsel and help Fani Willis bring unprecedented RICO felony charges against President Trump and 18 co-defendants."

Greene contended that Willis "allegedly paid her secret boyfriend a significantly higher hourly rate than another one of her special prosecutors, who actually has significant RICO experience. And with the nearly $700,000 Wade has collected in government funds as one of Willis’ special prosecutors, he has allegedly taken her on a luxury Caribbean cruise, a trip to Napa, and other lavish trips."

Georgia Judge Scott McAfee has not yet issued a ruling in Thursday's hearing.
