Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis publicly discussed race again apparently in response to a Georgia judge’s rebuke over her previous race-related comments.

Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee ruled that Ms. Willis, an elected Democrat, can remain the prosecutor in her Trump election case after allegations surfaced that she engaged in an affair with her then-special prosecutor, Nathan Wade, who later resigned. The judge, however, rebuked Ms. Willis for her comments in January after the initial relationship claim.
