Trump prosecutor Fani Willis is under fire for accusing others of “playing the race card” amid calls for her to be disqualified from the ex-President’s Georgia election fraud case.
The former president’s co-defendant Michael Roman alleged in court filings that Willis had an inappropriate relationship with Nathan Wade, who she hired to help run the criminal case.
The case has been thrown into chaos with Trump’s legal team demanding she is removed from the case.
Lawyer Chandelle Summer joined Patrick Christys on GBN America to discuss the controversy putting a new complexion on the legal battle which has proven to be a major headache for Trump.

She branded the allegations “humiliating” for Willis, with Patrick Christys saying she is accusing others of “playing the race card”.
“It’s the last resort of someone who has been caught in a very embarrassing and uncomfortable position”, she said.
“There are three prosecutors that she hired on this case. Two of them are white, and then one of them is her alleged paramour, who is African American.
“She is not alleged to be having an interpersonal relationship with the other two prosecutors.
“The other two, from my understanding, were paid far less than the prosecutor she’s been allegedly having this relationship with.”
GB News presenter Patrick Christys waded in to blast the ridiculousness of the situation, saying it is “hilarious”.

“If you’re involved in these kind of cases, you can’t expect to get away with it.”
Willis delivered an impassioned 35-minute speech at the Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta, where she did not refer to the accusations.
She suggested that criticism of her was racist and sexist.
“You cannot expect black women to be perfect and save the world. We need to be allowed to stumble,” she said.
“I’m just asking, God, is it that some will never see a Black man as qualified, no matter his achievements?
“First thing they say, oh, she gonna to play the race card now,” Willis said. “But no, God, isn't it them who's playing the race card when they only question one”.
