MSNBC legal analyst Caroline Polisi declared Thursday that Fani Willis, the prosecutor in the high-profile case against former President Donald Trump, is on the brink of disqualification.
The case, which has captured national attention for its implications on the integrity of the 2020 election results in Georgia, took a dramatic turn on Thursday during Willis’ misconduct hearing. Polisi, a well-known legal analyst and commentator, reinforced the gravity of the situation on live television.
“Don’t let the legalese fool you. This is epic, this is monumental. If things are going in the direction we think Fonny Willis lied to the court, it’s game over for her,” said Polisi. “She will be disqualified if they had a relationship prior to when they represented to the court. It’s a huge deal, I can’t overstate it.”
MSNBC and Polisi were reacting to statements from Willis’ former friend Robin Yeartie who said she has no doubt Willis and prosecutor Nathan Wade had a “romantic” relationship in 2019 & on.
