Concerns about DA Willis's private life should be covered in tabloids and not factual publications. Judge her and her other team members on their job performances, not personal relationships - true or untrue.

Willis, speaking Sunday with a congregation at the Big Bethel AME Church ahead of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, did not directly address the allegations of an improper relationship with Wade, but fiercely rejected claims she acted improper in hiring Wade in the state’s election interference case involving Trump and more than a dozen co-defendants.
“I’m a little confused. I appointed three special counselors. It’s my right to do, paid them all the same hourly rate. They only attack one,” Willis said Sunday. “I hired one white woman, a good personal friend and a great lawyer, a superstar, I tell you. I hired one white man — brilliant — my friend and a great lawyer. And I hired one Black man, another superstar, a great friend and a great lawyer.”
She did not directly reference Wade by his name, but defended the lawyer’s “impeccable credentials.”
“The Black man I chose has been a judge for more than 10 years, run a private practice more than 20 [years],” Willis said. “Represented businesses in civil litigation … served a prosecutor, a criminal defense lawyer, special assistant attorney general.”
