Transcript
00:00 You and Mr. Wade met in October 2019 at a conference?
00:04 That is correct.
00:05 I think in one of your motions you tried to implicate us slept with him at that conference,
00:08 which I find to be extremely offensive.
00:27 Many occurred in Georgia and some occurred in other jurisdictions.
00:32 It only made sense to me that I would be your next witness,
00:36 and I've been very anxious to have this conversation.
00:39 So your office objected to us getting Delta records for flights that you may have taken with Mr. Wade?
00:44 And well, no, no, no, look, I object to you getting records.
00:48 You've been intrusive into people's personal lives.
00:51 You're confused.
00:52 You think I'm on trial.
00:53 These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020.
00:56 I'm not on trial, no matter how hard you try to put me on trial.
00:59 You gave him cash before you ever went on the trip?
01:22 Okay.
01:23 And so when you got cash to pay him back on these trips, would you go to the ATM?
01:27 No, lady.
01:27 You would not go to the ATM?
01:29 No.
01:30 Okay.
01:30 So Fulton County pays you direct deposits, I assume?
01:34 Yes, Fulton County and the state of Georgia both pay me direct deposits.
01:38 Okay.
01:39 So the cash that you would pay him, you wouldn't get it out of the bank?
01:42 I have money in my house.
01:53 In 2022, in this affidavit, you swore that you and Willis developed a personal relationship.
01:59 Yes, ma'am.
02:00 And you said that that didn't develop until 2022, correct?
02:04 That's correct.
02:04 You have no doubt that their romantic relationship was in effect from 2019
02:08 until the last time you spoke with her?
02:10 No doubt.
02:12 And that's based on your personal observations and speaking with them
02:18 and seeing them together and things like that?
02:19 Yes.
