It has been noted that former President Barack Obama-appointed U.S. attorney Michael Moore slammed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ testimony in court Thursday, proclaiming during a media appearance Friday morning that it was a “train wreck.”
In a panel discussion on “CNN This Morning,” Moore stated that Willis behaved as if she was “smarter” than all of the other lawyers in the room when she testified in an evidentiary hearing regarding allegations that she had an inappropriate relationship with Nathan Wade, the lead prosecutor she hired to prosecute Georgia’s election interference case against former President Trump.
It was reported last month that Willis ought to be removed from the case due to her financial gain from hiring Wade due to their personal connection, according to claims made in court papers by Defense attorney Ashley Merchant and her client Michael Roman, one of Trump’s co-defendants.
Moore, who has previously asserted that Willis ought to step down from the Trump lawsuit due to the charge pertaining to her relationship with Wade, stated that Willis’s behavior on Thursday was the reason the hearing went so crazy.
Moore started off by saying he thought the individuals interrogating Willis could have been a little more efficient in determining whether there was any proof of improper conduct between the DA and her attorney.
“I think there were things they could have pushed a lot harder on and maybe delved into specifics a little bit more, especially when we’re talking about things as needless as cash payments,” he said.
Moore then declared that Willis’ testimony “just was not credible.” He added, “It reminded me of watching a criminal defendant take the stand. You know, they don’t have to do that. And you see it, and you can tell that the defendant thinks that they’re smarter than everyone in the room.”
“And it just becomes a train wreck. And so that’s sorta how I felt – it just went off the tracks.”
When asked further about why he thought Willis’ testimony wasn’t credible, Moore provided more specifics.
