One of President Trump’s most ardent supporters is seeking to have District Attorney Fani Willis disbarred, despite the fact that Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee declined to remove her from her lawsuit against the business last week.
According to Newsweek, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, “has filed a complaint asking for the disbarment of… Willis over her relationship with a prosecutor she hired for her Georgia election interference case” against Trump.
Greene stated she was seeking disbarment against Willis “for her corrupt actions” in a post on the X platform.
The lover she paid HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of dollars for, Willis “should’ve been removed from her political persecution of President Trump after it was revealed she went on lavish vacations with her lover Nathan Wade,” Greene said. Not suitable for serving!
She said that she was “requesting an investigation of Fani Willis, her suspension, and her disbarment” in a complaint that was sent to the State Bar of Georgia on Wednesday, according to Bloomberg News.
The publication claims that Greene was upset with the judge overseeing the election meddling case for not disqualifying Willis and for not coming to the conclusion that she had lied during her testimony about her relationship with Wade, the special prosecutor Willis hired.
A complaint against a Georgian lawyer is open to all parties. But since the proceedings are private, the public won’t be informed if the Georgia State Bar chooses to look into or reject Greene’s complaint. According to Newsweek, the Supreme Court of Georgia ultimately has the final say over any public punishment meted out to an attorney.
Earlier this week, McAfee said that Trump and the other defendants could appeal the decision that denied Willis’ disqualification.
McAfee made the decision to spare Willis from heading the Trump case as long as she parted ways with her boyfriend, Nathan Wade, who has subsequently left the case.
Legal experts now think that Willis’s departure would help her case against Trump and her career, given McAfee’s condemnation of her behaviour.
The judge stated that Willis’s actions were concerning even if he did not find her guilty of perjury or financial misconduct with reference to Wade.
A “odour of mendacity” in Willis’s testimony regarding her relationship with Wade was alluded to by McAfee in his ruling last week. Wade resigned in response to the judge’s remarks. In the lawsuit against Trump, which is based on claims of a plot to influence the 2020 presidential election, there are eighteen co-defendants.
Although the verdict allows Willis to pursue the case, she may still encounter objections to her law licence from the State Bar of Georgia. Experts don’t think the challenges will succeed based on the evidence that is now available, but Willis might run into opposition from other state regulators.
