Texts Messages From DA Willis' Office Show Investigator Hitting On Witness


Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is facing yet another scandal within her office as her case against former President Donald Trump progresses.

Text messages submitted as evidence in court reveal that an investigator from her office made advances toward a witness while working on a case.

As the RICO trial for Young Slime Life (YSL) against rapper Young Thug (real name Jeffrey Williams) and several co-defendants proceeded on Monday, new details emerged about the actions of an investigator employed by Willis’ office. During the cross-examination of a female witness identified only as A. Bennett, the witness’s lawyer queried her about messages she had received from a county investigator identified only as ‘Hamilton.’

Among the text messages was one from Hamilton that read: “Hit me up if you’re bored later. We’re not gonna talk shop.” Asked what it was the investigator wanted to talk to her about, Bennett told attorney Keith Adams that Hamilton wanted to discuss going out on “a date” with her, Newsweek reported.

“And this is February 7 of 2024, this year, when the investigator for the DA’s office is supposed to be talking to you about a case but, in fact, is calling you talking about going on a date. Is that true?” Adams asked the witness.

“Yes,” she said, adding that Hamilton had called her “mama” a number of times.

One text from Hamilton said: “G[ood] m[orning] Mama. Hope you slept well. Again don’t come at 1:30. I have a feeling the defense will keep this same witness from yesterday all day again today. I’ll give you an update at 3pm. You will most likely go up tomorrow morning. I’ll talk 2 u soon.”

Newsweek noted: “Bennett is testifying in the case about a robbery that Williams and two others allegedly committed in 2013. Williams and 27 others were indicted in a sweeping RICO case by Willis in May 2022. The district attorney is accusing Williams of being the kingpin of Young Slime Life, an Atlanta-based street gang affiliated with the notorious national Bloods gang.”

“The YSL trial has been underway since November and is expected to go well into 2024. Monday marks the 54th day of the trial. Monday’s text messages are the latest details in the sexual harassment allegations being raised by Williams’ defense team,” the outlet added.

Last month, Bennett told the court that Hamilton sexually harassed her and said at one point he wanted to “take her out when the investigation was over.”
