On Thursday, Donald Trump’s Georgia election subversion took a shocking turn when two top prosecutors testified about the nature of their romantic relationship. The hearing lasted all day, culminating with the testimony of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

Judge Scott McAfee convened the hearing about rumors of a relationship between Willis and Nathan Wade, whom Willis hired to be part of the prosecution team in 2021. On the stand, she raised objections, made legal arguments, had exchanges with the judge and reminded the courtroom she is the one not on trial.

Trump and his legal team want his case thrown out because of conflict-of-interest. That has yet to be decided, but here are the most outrageous reactions on X/Twitter to Willis’ testimony.
