Former Georgia Prosecutor Says ‘Out Of Court Statements’ Helped Get Fani Willis Thrown Off Trump Case

A former Georgia prosecutor said Thursday that Fulton County District attorney Fani Willis’ relationship with Nathan Wade wasn’t the only reason she was disqualified from pursuing the prosecution of President-elect Donald Trump.

A Georgia appeals court threw Willis off the case in a 2-1 ruling released Thursday morning, saying the trial court failed to “address the appearance of impropriety” stemming from the relationship with Wade. Former prosecutor Phil Holloway told Fox News host Harris Faulkner that “forensic misconduct” by Willis also contributed to her disqualification.

“This is the one that has the elected district attorney taking lots of taxpayer money, funneling it to her admitted paramour and then benefiting from that financial arrangement, by virtue of all the romantic trips and the getaways and all those things,” Holloway told Faulkner. “So, if it is not a direct kickback it certainly has the smell of potentially a kickback and her testimony, of course, they said had the ‘odor of mendacity,’ which means that nobody believed her testimony when she tried to explain this.”

“But it is more than the conflict of interest with Nathan Wade,” Holloway continued. “This is also about what we call forensic misconduct. There is out of court statements where Miss Willis goes into the well of a local church here in Fulton County, Georgia, which is full of potential voters and full of potential jurors, by the way, I might add, and maligns and impugns the various defendants out in a very public way. Prosecutors aren’t allowed to do that. They’re not allowed to try their case, so to speak, on the courthouse steps nor in the well of a church.”
