Fulton County DA Fani Willis and a whistleblower are heard on a 2021 audio recording discussing alleged misconduct by a campaign social media manager involving the possible misuse of federal funds.

The whistleblower expressed concerns about the misuse of a grant, leading to her demotion and eventual termination.

There are also allegations of a clandestine relationship between Willis and a private attorney involved in the case.

“He wanted to do things with grants that were impossible, and I kept telling him, like, ‘We can’t do that,’” Timpson said.

“He told everybody … ‘We’re going to get MacBooks, we’re going to get swag, we’re going to use it for travel.’ I said, ‘You cannot do that. It’s a very, very specific grant.’”

“When I questioned him, he took me off of projects because I questioned him,” Timpson said to Willis.

“You think your word is safe. When you reached out to Ms. Willis, she called me and told me everything. So once you reach out to her, she’s going to reach back out to me,” Cuffee said to her.

“Mr. Cuffee, respectfully, did not know what he was doing. Period,” Timpson said.

“So, I respect that is your assessment,” Willis said. “And I’m not saying that your assessment is wrong.”

“My case and Nathan Wade’s case are very similar when you break them down point by point,” Timpson said. “Ethical violations, abuse of power, and the misuse of county, state, and federal funds.”

A co-defendant has filed a motion claiming that the private attorney paid for vacations with Willis using county funds, calling for the dismissal of charges and disqualification of the DA’s team from further prosecution.
