A former friend of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis directly undercut claims about when her relationship with her top prosecutor started, according to her courtroom testimony on Thursday.

Robin Yeartie, the former friend, was called as a witness to testify on allegations that Ms. Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade were involved in a romantic and secretive relationship, a revelation that was brought forth in a court motion last month by a co-defendant in former President Donald Trump’s racketeering trial. The hearing was held to ascertain whether the Fulton district attorney should be disqualified from the Trump case.
