Willis was honored with the Woman of Influence award at a Georgia fundraiser on Friday night.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis received an award from Democrats on Friday night as she prosecutes the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump.Trump, the presumed GOP presidential nominee, and 18 co-defendants were indicted in August 2023 for allegedly conspiring to overturn President Joe Biden's 2020 election victory in Georgia. The former president has pleaded not guilty to all charges and has claimed the case is politically motivated.
Earlier this year, Willis was thrown into the national spotlight when one of Trump's co-defendants, Michael Roman, a former Trump campaign staffer, claimed that Willis and Wade had a relationship which created a conflict of interest that called for their disqualification from the case and the charges against him to be dismissed. Several other defendants later joined and supplemented Roman's motion including Trump.
