CNN’s resident legal expert blasted Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her prosecutors for sloppy work after Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee threw out six charges against former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants.
Expert and former federal prosecutor Elie Honig claimed Willis’ “screw up” led to McAfee’s ruling, calling it an “embarrassing” development for her and her prosecutorial team.
While admitting the case is still “in place,” having the counts dismissed is a “setback.”
Willis’ case against the former president for his alleged conspiracy to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia faced setbacks earlier this year when allegations emerged of an inappropriate relationship between her and Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade. Willis had hired Wade as one of the prosecutors to work on the case involving Trump, Fox News noted.
