Legal analyst Rikki Klieman said that while Fulton County DA Fani Willis likely will not be disqualified from the Georgia election interference case, testifying about her past intimate relationship with a hired prosecutor has probably hurt her credibility.

CBS’ Robert Costa said, “Down in Fulton County, Georgia, in recent days, Fani Willis took the stand.”

Do you expect her to be dismiss or disqualified from the Georgia election interference case?” he asked Klieman.

Klieman said it was salacious to watch Willis testify about the personal relationship on television.

Klieman replied, “Well, it was a salacious couple of days on television watching a camera in the courtroom to hear about the personal, intimate relationship of District Attorney Fani Willis and the prosecutor she hired who was her lover for a period of time.”

“The salaciousness of this and the fact that she decided to testify when she was angry leads us to a point that it has probably hurt her credibility,” she continued.

Though Willis may win a motion to avoid dismissal or disqualification, Klieman suggests the case has become politically weakened even if it proceeds legally.

“The case will not be dismissed. I doubt she will be disqualified. But ultimately although she wins the motion I would say that it could be said politically that the case then legally really becomes a loser,” predicted Klieman.
