Special attorney hired by Fani Willis to help prosecute Trump donated big bucks to her campaign

An expert Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis retained to help prosecute former President Trump donated $4,300 to her campaign for public office, records show.

John Floyd, a prominent Atlanta attorney and partner at Bondurant Mixson & Elmore, was retained by Willis in 2021 to help her prosecute the former president. Floyd is one of the leading experts in Georgia’s intricate and complex racketeering statutes at play in the sweeping case against the former president.

One expert told Fox News Digital that while Floyd’s donations present no ethical, legal or conflict-of-interest problems, the previous campaign donations could add to the mounting "optics" problems for Willis.

According to public records, Floyd donated to Willis’ campaign for district attorney twice — $2,800 on March 20, and $1,500 on June 25, 2020, for a total of $4,300.

Fani also said - under oath - that she took money out of her campaign to live on.

Huh?

Isn’t that a criminal act?

She said she could avoid all reporting of gifts law by saying she’s a black woman who rolled with cash.

Huh?

The ‘donations’ were finder’s fees for future contracts let/approved by Willis.

What she ‘really’ meant to say was that she paid herself as a campaign consultant and that’s what she did - in cash. No receipts, no written consulting contract, doesn’t have to explain it because of, you know, attorney-client privilege....blah, blah. Strong black woman who doesn’t want to emasculate a black man and all that.

They give her briefcases full of cash and she gives them jobs. Even judge McAfee made contributions to her campaign.
