Lawyer who exposed Fani Willis relationship says no way Trump case goes forward before election

Georgia attorney Ashleigh Merchant said she doesn't see "any way" in which Fani Willis' 2020 election interference case against former President Trump proceeds before the November election, after Willis warned the "train is coming."

"I don't see any way that this could happen before the election," Merchant told host Steve Doocy on "Fox & Friends," Monday.

Last week, Georgia Judge Scott McAfee allowed Trump and his co-defendants to appeal his decision to allow Willis to stay on the case after she fired prosecutor Nathan Wade, with whom she was accused of having an improper relationship.

Merchant, a lawyer for a Trump co-defendant in the case, explained how the case will now go before a Court of Appeals. The court can then decide if Willis is disqualified, send the case back to Judge McAfee, or send it up to the Supreme Court.

"No trial is going to be resolved and happen before the election," she said, arguing Willis had made the case "extremely overbroad."

"So what they're looking at is actually having someone running for office, running for the office of president, being on trial. That's unheard of," she stated.

Willis recently spoke out about the case for the first time after Judge McAfee ruled she must either remove herself or Wade from the case. Hours after the order, Wade resigned from the case, allowing Willis to remain on it.

"My team’s been continuing to work it… We were still doing the case in the way that it needed to be done," she told CNN on Saturday. "I don’t feel like we’ve been slowed down at all. I do think there are efforts to slow down this train, but the train is coming."
