On CNN’s “AC360” broadcast on Friday, CNN senior legal analyst and former prosecutor Ellie Honig said that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) is a candidate for Republican presidential candidate former Donald Trump around 2024. He said the president should “remove himself” from the incident and remove himself from the incident. She said her statement sidestepped important questions about potential conflicts of interest and was “an extremely inappropriate statement that she has made publicly that would prejudice the jury here.” Ta.
Guest host Jim Sciutto asked, “Right off the bat, about Fanny Willis, should she step back and leave after all of this?”
Mr. Honig replied: If she doesn’t do it voluntarily, I think it’s likely that a judge will force her to do it. I read her response today. In my opinion, that doesn’t answer the important question. It’s not about relationships, it doesn’t matter to me whether they have romantic or other relationships, but about money flow, potential conflicts. I believe that the very inappropriate comments she made publicly will prejudice the jury here. I think she should leave, but if she doesn’t, I think the judge will likely force it. ”
