All eyes will be on Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis this week when she is expected to announce criminal charges against former President Donald Trump for his alleged attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
“Look, I might find myself on the other side of an indictment in her office, and I may very well disagree with her staff that we might battle out in court, but this is what I know to be true and clear, and that is she walks with integrity and she’s professional,” lawyer Gabe Banks, who has known Willis for 15 years, told WSB-TV. He added that"there’s no merit to any assertion that she’s had any relationship other than a professional relationship as a lawyer with some alleged gang member.
At Howard University, she studied political science and graduated cum laude in 1993 before moving to Atlanta to attend law school. On the day she took the state bar exam, she met Fred Willis, a videographer. The two hit it off, got married, and had two daughters together before divorcing in 2005. Before Trump, her highest-profile case was against a group of Atlanta public school educators who allegedly cheated on standardized tests in an effort to protect their jobs and receive bonuses from administrators. The trial, which lasted eight months, still holds the record for the longest criminal trial in Georgia history. Willis was criticized and labeled a"sellout" for going after teachers from a struggling school district, but she stood firm.
