Sparks flew in a Fulton County, Georgia, courtroom Thursday afternoon when embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis took the stand to testify against allegations she had an “improper” affair with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, which could derail her case against former President Trump.

At one point, Willis was asked by a Trump lawyer, Ashley Merchant, in a heated moment if she had any “proof” that she reimbursed Wade for vacations because the payments were in cash.

“The testimony of one witness is enough to prove a fact,” Willis responded. “Are you telling me I’m lying?”

“I’m asking if you have any proof,” the lawyer responded. And Willis shot back, “The proof is what I just told you.”

“Has Nathan Wade ever visited you at the place you laid your head?” Merchant asked Willis in another question related to the timeline of her relationship with Wade. 

“When?” an exasperated Willis responded.

“Has he ever visited you at the place you lay your head,” the lawyer repeated.

“So let’s be clear because you lied,” Willis said before picking up various piles of paper.

“Right here, you lied right here,” Willis said, before shouting “No, no, no” when the lawyer interjected.

“It is a lie,” Willis said while holding two piles of papers above her head. “It is a lie.”

After that confrontation, a five-minute recess was called.
