State’s attorney Adam Abbate questioned John C. Floyd III on his living situation in 2019, when Floyd claims he was forced to move in with is daughter, District Attorney Fani Willis.
Floyd testified that he was living in South Africa before the political situation in that country forced him to relocate to Georgia in the spring or summer of 2019. He said that while he was living with Willis she was dating someone named “Deuce” and that he did not meet Nathan Wade until 2023.
“Did you ever meet Mr. Wade in the year 2019?” Abbate asked.
“Absolutely not,” Floyd answered.
Floyd later testified that he moved back to Los Angeles to pitch a movie script called “Bad Blood,” which he said he developed after working on a memoir about his work in the civil rights movement — presumably including his time as a Black Panther.
He also said he did not find out that Willis and Wade had a romantic relationship until about seven weeks ago, when Michael Roman alleged in a court filing that Willis had a conflict of interest in the Trump 2020 election interference case.
Floyd was also asked about his daughter’s claim that she keeps large savings in cash. Willis testified Thursday that she split the cost of her vacations with Wade and paid him in cash, transactions for which there is no receipt.
“Excuse me, your honor, I’m not trying to be racist, okay. But it’s a Black thing,” Floyd said, explaining that he trained his daughter to always keep cash.
