Federal criminal defense attorney Caroline Polisi said on Wednesday Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis’ prosecution of former President Trump could be the «death knell» if she is removed from the case.
While speaking to MSNBC anchor Ana Cabrera, the attorney acknowledged that the case would still be ongoing if Willis was disqualified from it by Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee because of her alleged affair with Nathan Wade, a prosecutor she hired for the case. However, she predicted that it could lose all momentum once it was reassigned to another governing body.
Polisi made the claim as Willis’ Georgia election interference case was hit by another string of setbacks, with McAfee throwing out six counts against Trump.
McAfee said in an order Wednesday that the state failed to allege sufficient detail for six counts of «solicitation of violation of oath by public officer.»
Cabrera prompted Polisi, wondering if this news would have any influence or connection to McAfee’s potential decision barring Willis from the case for the inappropriate relationship she had allegedly had with Wade.
