Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has received so many threats against her life over the past three years that she has had to move “something like four times,” according to her father, retired attorney John Floyd III.
He said that he intentionally did not learn where his daughter had moved in order to help protect her, and now only sees her on occasion.
In case “somebody stuck a gun to my head… I didn’t want to know,” he said.
“This is very hard for me to say,” he added later, noting that he has only seen his daughter on 13 occasions since she had to move.
Floyd offered his testimony Friday as part of the sprawling case Willis brought last year against former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants, accusing them of meddling with Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results.
Since some of the defendants’ attorneys have accused her of corruption, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee is expected to weigh in on Willis’ fitness to prosecute the case. He heard testimony from Willis herself on Thursday, along with Nathan Wade, one of three outside attorneys she hired to help with the case.
