Fani Willis, the district attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, spoke at the Atlanta Berean Church this weekend while accepting the “Black History Achievement Award.”
“So when I was invited here, it was really heartwarming because to me, this is family, because family helps you when you’re up and when you’re down,” she said at the church on Saturday.
Her appearance at the church came two days after appearing in court for heated questioning from lawyers about the nature of her relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who is involved in the Georgia case against former President Donald Trump.
“There are things going on recently that I won’t talk about, but everybody did not embrace me during those times, and Berean has continued to embrace me,” Willis said.
She added, “The Scripture they keep sending me is ‘No weapon formed against you shall prosper.’ I need y’all to hear me, though. They did not say the weapons will not form.”
The district attorney who is under fire for her alleged affair with a fellow prosecutor continued to speak from the church’s pulpit.
“And that’s the part I didn’t hear until recently,” Willis shared. “Just because they won’t prosper, it doesn’t mean that they won’t form, even if you feel like everything you are doing in your life is the right thing, and you’re making mistakes all along the way, but you’re trying.”
She continued, “You should not think that those weapons will not form.”
Trump co-defendant Mike Roman filed a motion in January accusing Willis of financially benefiting from Wade while being engaged in a “personal, romantic relationship.”
During testimony last week from Wade, he confirmed purchasing plane tickets to such places as Napa Valley, Florida, and the Caribbean, while claiming she paid him back in cash with no receipts or record of cash payments.

In the testimony by Willis, she claimed she learned while growing up to keep cash in her home. Her father, John Clifford Floyd III, confirmed her claim of storing cash at home in testimony on Friday.
Roman’s court filing against Willis and Wade calls for both prosecutors to be disqualified and the charges against him dismissed.
