Retired Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz has called for a special prosecutor to investigate possible perjury and obstruction of justice against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. This comes as Willis’ case against former President Donald Trump appears to be unraveling due to revelations of her romantic involvement with a special prosecutor.
Dershowitz criticized Willis for engaging in a sexual relationship with Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor appointed to oversee Trump’s Georgia election interference case. He described Willis’ actions as incredibly foolish and raised concerns about her ability to serve as a responsible prosecutor.
The disclosure of Willis and Wade’s romantic relationship has prompted scrutiny during local government oversight hearings. Dershowitz highlighted potential instances of obstruction of justice and witness tampering, citing evidence suggesting that Willis may have discouraged witnesses from cooperating with law enforcement.
According to Dershowitz, Willis’ alleged actions could constitute serious legal violations, including obstruction of justice and tampering with witnesses. He emphasized the need for an impartial investigation to determine the extent of her involvement and whether any laws were broken.
Furthermore, Dershowitz pointed to evidence suggesting that Willis and Wade’s relationship began before his appointment as special prosecutor, raising questions about the integrity of the legal proceedings.
In light of these revelations, Dershowitz called into question who would hold the prosecutors accountable if misconduct occurred within their ranks. He urged swift action to ensure transparency and uphold the principles of justice in the legal system.
