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.
