Fox News legal analyst Greg Jarrett detailed on Fox News on Friday why he believes Fulton County Public Defender Fannie Willis should be “disqualified” from the case against former President Donald Trump.
Jarrett appeared on “Hannity” to discuss Willis' recent admission of a personal relationship with his law partner Nathan Wade, whom he appointed as special counsel in the case against Trump. Fox host Sean Hannity questioned the legal analyst about her thoughts on Willis' confession to her, asking if she believed her case was “doomed.”
Jarrett said Willis can no longer blame accusations of her relationship with Wade on “racism” because there is “well-documented” evidence of Hannity's “unethical behavior.” agreed with Hannity. The legal analyst said that in addition to “disqualifying” Mr. Willis from the case, he also needed to detail “material conflicts of interest.” (Related: Fani Willis has not yet responded to commissioner's request for information regarding alleged misuse of funds)
“Well, it's falling apart. Willis finally had to vent her anger and tell the truth after four weeks. The evidence of her unethical behavior was well-documented, and she We cannot continue to blame racism. She should be disbarred from this prosecution,” Jarrett said.
“She had a personal financial interest in this case, a significant conflict of interest with her subordinate's lover, and it presented the appearance of dishonesty and substantive fraud. Sean, this prosecution is now highly tainted. The judge should remove the prosecutor from the prosecutor's office completely, because if that happens, fresh people will see it for what it is: a legally unwarranted prosecution that perverts extortion laws. I think.”
Jarrett continued to point out that Willis and Wade had visited the White House multiple times during and before the lawsuit against Trump, and how this proves the investigation is “politically driven.” emphasized. Jarrett said Willis' alleged “misappropriation of public funds” should lead to her being “removed.” (Related: Trump co-defendant pokes holes in Fani Willis' defense against corruption allegations)
“The fact that her boyfriend travels to Washington for two eight-hour meetings at the White House? So that shows that these accusations against Trump are politically motivated. So now there's a federal investigation going on into the misuse of public funds, the firing of a whistleblower, and the state of Georgia is trying to figure out how she and Wade personally benefited, so they could file a lawsuit. Two investigations are underway looking into whether she used COVID-19 funds. She was unable to get approval from the county for the cash she gave to her boyfriend. Wade was indicted before taking office. Therefore, their plan reeks of embezzlement of public funds and callous fraud, and Ms. Willis may be removed from office.She may face criminal charges. '' said Jarrett.
Alleged relationship between Willis and Wade circulated Willis was indicted in early January after a court filing filed on behalf of a former Trump campaign official named in the indictment. The filing detailed the relationship between Mr. Willis and his law partner, alleging that they used public funds to go on vacation.
Willis confirmed the relationship, but Submission to court On Friday, she has since denied any financial benefit from her partnership with Wade. Additionally, her motion defended Wade's position, and she has since refused to recuse herself from Trump's case.
