Retired Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz said Tuesday that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be on trial for some of the "Worst crimes" that he's seen prosecutors commit and called for the appointment of an independent prosecutor to lead a criminal investigation into her actions.
Mr. Dershowitz's remarks add to those made by a number of analysts, who have said that Ms. Willis perjured herself during statements she made in court last month when she claimed her relationship with former Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade didn't begin until after his appointment to the case against former President Donald Trump.
More Evidence There's also witness testimony pointing to possible perjury on the part of Ms. Willis.
Still, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled there wasn't enough evidence to back claims that Ms. Willis benefitted financially from Mr. Wade's appointment, although he did describe their relationship as a "Tremendous lapse in judgment."
The judge then ordered that either Ms. Willis or Mr. Wade needed to stop working on the case, with Mr. Wade later resigning.
In his Tuesday interview on Newsmax, Mr. Dershowitz lent credence to this view, arguing that not only should Ms. Willis be disqualified but she should also face a criminal investigation.
Ms. Willis told CNN that her office has continued to work on the case throughout the disqualification hearings, calling the various allegations against her a delay tactic.
