“Well, this is very serious. This is the second time she has made extrajudicial statements that could affect the outcome of the case. It is completely unethical. Remove her from the case. “I think it's a good reason to dismiss the case now,” Weisenberg said.

“The worst thing she did was a few weeks ago, she appeared at Atlanta's oldest African-American church and said that the defense team that was opposing her was racist. . It is undoubtedly unethical. It taints the jury group that overwhelmingly selected her. And why aren't more people talking about this? Why aren't they? – As far as I know, only one person in the mainstream media has commented on this and condemned it. That’s why it’s so disturbing.”

In her acceptance speech on Saturday, Willis said people have sent her scriptures, noting a common verse is: “No weapon formed against you will prosper.” Alluding to her struggles in her personal life, Willis said she believes just because a weapon doesn't “thrive” doesn't mean it can't “form.” continued to say.

“People keep sending me scriptures, and I'm grateful for those scriptures…The scripture they keep sending me is 'No weapon formed against you will succeed.' “I want everyone to hear this: They're not saying weapons won't form. And that's the part I didn't hear until recently,” Willis said. “Just because you don't thrive doesn't mean an organization won't form. Even if you feel like everything you're doing in life is the right thing and you're making mistakes along the way, you're trying. . We should not think that those weapons will not be formed.”

Reports about Willis and Wade's relationship surfaced in January after attorneys for former Trump campaign official Michael Roman, who was indicted by the Fulton County Attorney's Office, filed a motion in court. Mr Roman, who had a personal relationship with Mr Wade, allegedly used funds for the two to take holidays, and Mr Willis claimed he benefited financially from the partnership. Ms. Willis has since acknowledged the relationship but denied any financial interest in her as Ms. Roman's attorneys seek to disqualify her from Mr. Trump's case.
