Fani Willis should face gag order in Trump election case, says legal analyst
Fox News legal editor Kerri Kupec Urbahn joined "The Faulkner Focus" Monday to discuss how former President Trump is experiencing a double standard when it comes to gag orders and why Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis should be issued a gag order similar to Trump's. Co-defendants in Trump's election interference case are reportedly considering asking for a gag order against Willis.
LAWYER WHO EXPOSED FANI WILLIS RELATIONSHIP SAYS NO WAY TRUMP CASE GOES FORWARD BEFORE ELECTION
KERRI KUPEC URBAHN: So let's talk first about what the purpose of gag orders are in the first place. It's to prevent harm to the case or the people involved in the case that otherwise could not be undone. And we've seen these gag orders slapped again and again after one person and one person only. And his name is Donald Trump. But my question is how is the harm that they say Trump is causing by tweeting about political bias is any different or worse than, say, the district attorney in Georgia talking publicly about the case, saying things like, ‘God is on my side,’ or Letitia James, the attorney general in New York salivating over properties that Trump owns on Twitter, live-tweeting all those events. Because let me tell you something. If I'm a business person in New York, I'd be very worried that she would do the same to me and apply the law in a way that's never been applied before against me. Doesn't matter that I'm not Trump. She's done it once, wouldn't she do it again? And if I'm a potential juror in Fulton County, how would I not be intimidated by the district attorney, a very powerful law enforcement officer, making all of these comments? Would I not be nervous to not potentially side with her if I'm on that jury?
