A former "good friend" of District Attorney Fani Willis testified Thursday that she has "no doubt" Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade had a "romantic" relationship starting in 2019, contradicting Willis’ statements in court.
Robin Yeartie, a former Fulton County DA employee and self-described "good friend" of Willis, said Thursday she has "no doubt" Willis and Wade were in a romantic relationship starting in 2019 to when her and Willis last spoke in 2022.
This contradicts Wills’ claims in court that she and Wade "have been professional associates and friends since 2019," and "there was no personal relationship" between her and Wade in November 2021 at the time of Wade’s appointment.

"You have no doubt that their romantic relationship was in effect from 2019 until the last time you spoke with her?" attorney Ashleigh Merchant questioned.
"No doubt," Yeartie said.
