The father of Fani Willis, the Fulton County district attorney who indicted Donald Trump for challenging the results of the 2020 election in Georgia, was the founder of the radical Black Panther political organization in Los Angeles.

Recordings of a recently released John C. Floyd III (Fani Willis' father) interview show that Willis' father was a political group leader who regarded the police as the "enemy," the New York Post reported.

Floyd, now 80, allegedly told academic researchers in the '60s, that police officers were actually an "occupying army" that only caused trouble. The prosecutor's father also suggested that he believed conspiracy theories that said human rights activist Malcolm X was killed by the CIA.

The father-daughter relationship and the relationship between Floyd and Angela Davis

Fani Willis acknowledged that she is so close to her father that she talks to him up to 10 times a day. She also said that her father's values continue to guide her in her life.

"I have an absolutely amazing father and I’m very privileged to have been raised by such a great man. My father taught me that every single person is entitled to dignity and respect no matter who they are — no matter their race, religion or socio-economic status," she told the Post, adding that all "those things run through her veins."

Her father's love life is also interesting. Floyd explained in an interview with the Bradley Center that he dated Angela Davis in the late 1960s. She was a member of the Communist Party USA and, in 1970, became the third woman in history to make the FBI's "Most Wanted" list. She was also part of Fani Willis' father's life years before she was born. He told the Bradley Center about those years of his life:

At the time I was dating Angela Davis and we were living together at the time. And Jim Forman and Irving Davis came to our apartment trying to, um, they wanted to squash it. They got on a plane and flew to Oakland to talt to I guess, Bobby Seale and Eldrigdge and so forth. And that's how we became SNCC. They wanted us, and we agreed that we'd become a SNCC chapter in California.

Fani Willis also questioned the election in Georgia

Recently, Benny Johnson, a famous YouTuber and conservative political commentator revealed that the prosecutor questioned Georgia's election procedures and even promoted conspiracy theories on her social media.

"Fani questioned elections for her own political gain as a hardened Democrat activist. Now she is trying to imprison the GOP frontrunner for doing the same," Johnson said alongside images of the comments that would prove it.
