In the midst of an ongoing high-profile legal career, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis found herself facing a more personal challenge after her daughter was arrested during a traffic stop in Tyrone, Georgia. Bodycam footage from August 24 shows the arrest of 25-year-old Kinaya Willis, who was detained for driving on a suspended license and using her cell phone while behind the wheel. Fani Willis and Nathan Wade, her former lover and previously a colleague in the prosecution of Donald Trump, arrived at the scene together, reigniting public interest in their past relationship.

As the footage reveals, Willis maintained a calm demeanor as she interacted with police officers, requesting that her home address be kept private due to her public profile. Wade, who had played a role in the Trump case but was removed due to his relationship with Willis, was present as well, though Willis described him as “just a friend” when asked by officers. Meanwhile, Kinaya, a student at Texas Southern University, explained her use of the phone as part of a call with her mother regarding her pregnancy, unaware that her license had been suspended since May.

The incident comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Willis and Wade’s past affair, which has drawn significant attention due to their involvement in the Trump election interference case. While a judge ruled that Willis could continue leading the prosecution, Wade was required to step down, fueling speculation about the impact of their relationship on the legal proceedings. As the Trump case remains in limbo due to appeals, both Willis’s personal and professional life continue to be under intense public scrutiny, raising questions about how these intertwined narratives will evolve.
