Turley Breaks Down ‘Astonishing’ Facts From Fani Willis Case, Reveals Further Actions Judge Could Take

While appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” Turley discussed Willis’ and Wade’s recent testimony during their evidentiary hearing. The pair are facing allegations that Willis benefitted from her romantic relationship with Wade while they worked together on the election fraud case against former President Donald Trump.

Fox host Shannon Bream asked Turley about his thoughts regarding the conflicting statements made by the two, asking if he believes that the judge has “seen enough” to disqualify Willis from the case.

Turley explained that he believes the judge has “heard enough” based on the statements, but noted that the judge may ask the two to “step aside” from the case rather than be disqualified, due to the “tough position” he is in.

However, Turley questioned if the judge would refer both defendants to the bar over their “allegation of false statement being filed,” noting it could be an option taken by the judge in addition to requesting a removal.

“Well, one thing is clear is that no one will ever say election law is boring again,” Turley stated. “But the astonishing thing about this is that you have two prosecutors who stand accused of filing false statements in court. Mr. Wade is accused of answering interrogatories falsely and Willis is accused of making false statements in her own filings. That’s what they’re prosecuting defendants in the case for.”

“So, building on what Tom said, at some point you have to recognize that your personal interests have to give way to interests of the case and the office, they haven’t done that. Has the judge heard enough? Yes, but he’s still in a tough position. Disqualification is a heavy lift. The issue of the appearance of impropriety may give him a basis for saying, ‘You need to step aside.’”
