Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis surprised a courtroom on Thursday by taking the witness stand during a hearing centered on whether she engaged in a conflict of interest in her case against former President Donald Trump in Georgia.

Willis shot feisty remarks at attorneys who questioned her about her previously undisclosed relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom her office has been bankrolling for more than two years to help with the case.
