Speaker 0: If you had to give me a sentence, what is the sentence saying?
Speaker 1: Once I told him about his respectfully and in the email about his lack of leadership and the fact that he wanted to do things with grants that were impossible. And I kept telling him, like, we can't do that in questioning stuff. He would take me off projects, tell people I wasn't doing what I was supposed to because I questioned him. Because I understood. I helped write that grant.
I knew what was in that grant. He told everybody in front of Crystal, Deontay, everybody. We're gonna get Macbooks, we're gonna do that. We're gonna get swag. We're gonna use it for travel.
I said, you cannot do that. It's a very, very specific grant. Took me off. I questioned junior DA. There's kids in there from out of the the, the county, all this.
Took me off junior DA. I did not to do it, he made it look as if I wasn't doing what I needed to do because I questioned him. Because I knew for a fact, mister Cusi respectfully did not know what he was doing. Period.
Speaker 0: So I respect that as your assessment. It was clear to me that you and miss Cuppy were not getting along. And I'm not saying that your assessment is wrong. I want you to really listen to the words I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Pussy, and this is my personal opinion to one woman to another is dangerous to your administration. He tells people, when I reached out to you, he told me, oh, you think your word is safe? Exactly when you reached out to miss, Willis, she called me and told me. She told me everything. So once you reach out to her, she's gonna reach back out to me.
So I didn't even go to HR. He put Dexter's name on my PDP and I didn't even feel safe going to anybody.
Speaker 0: Can I tell you something? Mhmm. I have 3 supervisors that have failed in the field. What's interesting to me because I'm in learning for a term, they each pretend to have a relationship with me that they do not have. I guess that's an intimidate to tactic.
Mhmm. I'm sorry that you felt that way, but you would that's just certainly don't have no relationship with, right, Michael Cuffy. You were safe to go those places.

In the call, Willis said her aide, Michael Cuffee, had failed her administration.
Cuffee served as Willis's social media manager during her 2020 campaign. She thanked him by name in her victory speech.
Cuffee told me he left the DA's office in Dec. 2021 for "personal" reasons.

Timpson said there's a clear pattern in Willis's conduct.
"My case and Nathan Wade's case are very similar when you break them down point by point," the whistleblower said. "Ethical violations, abuse of power, and the misuse of county, state, and federal funds."
