It has come to light that a post on the X platform that contained a court filing from former President Donald Trump makes a serious claim against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis that could see her ejected from her RICO case against him.
It has been noted that the user Techno Fog, who has “lawyer” in the account’s profile, noted that “Latest Trump filing in the GA RICO case makes a great point – DA Fani Willis violated GA ethics rules by publicly accusing the defendants of racism after they noted her affair with Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade. Trump: stoking racial division requires dismissal.”
The X post contains a video clip of Willis suggesting that criticisms of her over allegations she had an affair with Nathan Hale, a special prosecutor she hired for the case, and misused county tax funds in making outsized payments to him as the couple went on several trips together, are racist.
“Rule 3.8 requires Willis to refrain from allegations ‘that have a substantial likelihood of heightening public condemnation of the accused,’” the Techno Fog account noted in another post containing screenshots of Trump’s legal filing. “Rule 3.6 forbids statements that would ‘materially’ prejudice a proceeding.
“Clear violation; the only question is the appropriate remedy,” the account noted further.
The account added in another X post: “There’s also a Constitutional argument that the parties need to make – that Willis violated their right to a fair trial.
“As the Supreme Court has noted: Few, if any, interests under the Constitution are more fundamental than the right to a fair trial by ‘impartial’ jurors, and an outcome affected by extrajudicial statements would violate that fundamental right.”
