Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, when her relationship with Nathan Wade led to a courtroom fight over whether she and Wade had behaved in a way that created a conflict of interest, took to the stand in Fulton County. While on the stand, she spoke to the character of special prosecutor Nathan Wade, namely his attitude toward women.
At the time, Willis’ relationship with Wade had come under increased scrutiny amid allegations of financial misconduct. Many have alleged the controversial relationship between Willis and Wade poses a massive conflict of interest. Judge Scott McAfee, in a ruling Trump appealed, found that Wade needed to drop out of the case and that DA Willis, though there was not an actual conflict of interest, had behaved very injudiciously.
But while the testimony is now over as Judge McAfee decided the case at the lower level, one somewhat humorous incident from DA Willis’ testimony is worth revisiting. That is her testimony about his relationship with women, with the DA sounding off on what she characterized as his misogynistic attitude toward women, and described it in a funny way. According to Willis, her conversations with Wade were argumentative by nature, pertaining to the special prosecutor’s view of women. This district attorney claimed that Wade only sees value in women insofar as they will “make him a sandwich.” Willis explained how this dynamic was a source of tension in her relationship with Wade, noting how she gave “him his money back.”
“Mister, let’s go on and have the conversation,” Willis said. “Had absolutely nothing to do with this. It’s interesting that we’re here about this money. Mr. Wade is used to women that, as he told me one time, only thing a woman can do for him is make him a sandwich. We would have brutal arguments about the fact that I am your equal. I don’t need anything from a man a man is not a plan. A man is a companion. And so there was tension always in our relationship, which is why I was give him his money back. I don’t need anybody to foot my bills, the only man who’s ever put my bills completely is my daddy.”
Following her monologue, Willis was asked, “Is there anything else you’d like to add to that?” She responded, “No. I’m sure we’ll talk about it further.” Willis’ comments about Wade have quickly made the rounds on social media.
Conservative Brief shared footage of Willis’ testimony on X, with the caption, “The Character Assassination Continues! On the stand, Fulton County DA Fani Willis continues to paint her lover Nathan Wade in a terrible light: “Mr. Wade is used to women that— as he told me one time— the only thing a woman can do for him is make a sandwich.”

The American Tribune, around the same time as the Fani testimony, reported on comments from Nathan Wade’s testimony about his extravagant trips with Fani Willi. Many have alleged the trips have been prime examples of Willis abusing her position of power to misuse government funds.
A Fulton County Judge recently ruled that Willis and Wade would be forced to testify on these allegations of financial misconduct. Judge McAfee ruled, “I think the issues at point here are whether a relationship existed, whether that relationship was romantic or non-romantic in nature, when it formed, and whether it continues. And that’s only relevant because it’s in combination with the question of the existence and extent of any personal benefit conveyed as a result of their relationship.”
Judge McAfee continued in his ruling, “And so because I think its possible that the facts alleged by the defendant could result in disqualification, I think an evidentiary hearing must occur to establish the record on those core allegations.”
