Harry Litman suggested that the handling of the allegations against Willis have cast a shadow over the Trump investigation.
Legal analyst and attorney Harry Litman suggested on Friday that Fani Willis‘ prosecution of former President Donald Trump remained „tainted“ despite special prosecutor Nathan Wade resigning from the case.
Willis, the district attorney for Georgia’s Fulton County, has been leading the investigation that brought a criminal indictment against Trump for his alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the state. Trump faces charges of racketeering in the case, alongside numerous other co-defendants, which he pleaded not guilty to during his arraignment hearing.
Despite many experts concurring that the evidence in the case is damning against Trump, Willis and her office have found themselves embroiled in controversy over allegations brought by the legal team of co-defendant, Mike Roman, alleging that she maintained an improper romantic relationship with Wade. Wade, an outside attorney, was brought on by the district attorney to aid in the Trump investigation. Roman has also pleaded not guilty to all charges in the case.
