NEW: CNN Legal Expert EXPOSES Fani Willis, Predicts Trump Case Will Be Tossed

One of CNN’s top legal analysts is predicting that the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump is not long for this world.

Elie Honig, no wallflower when it comes to calling out problems with the former president’s many legal entanglements, said Tuesday that he believes the state case brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is likely to be scrapped. He based the prediction on precedent handed down earlier this year by the Supreme Court granting presidents sweeping immunity for “official acts” performed while in office. Were that not enough, a slew of missteps by the Georgia prosecutor has already set the trial back by months. President Trump is accused of conspiring with 18 others to overturn the state’s 2020 election results.

President Trump’s attorneys are seeking dismissal of the case on the grounds of “racial animus” towards him by Willis, who is Black. “I think Trump has a decent chance on getting this case thrown out,” Honig predicted. He added it was specifically shrewd by defense lawyers to not target a “conflict of interest” between Willis and Nathan Wade, a former prosecutor in her office who was hired after they engaged in a romantic affair. “The focus here is on alleged prosecutorial misconduct by Fani Willis because, you’ll remember, she went in front of a church outside of court and made public statements blasting the defense lawyers, essentially accusing them of being racist. Donald Trump’s claim here is that tainted the jury pool.”

Willis, a Democrat first elected in 2020, is seeking her second term while managing a case that has drawn international attention, though not for the headlines she might have envisioned. After growing tired of conservative media making sophomoric jokes about her first name, Willis railed against President Trump and his conservative enablers. In June, she spoke at a church outside Atlanta, the Democratic prosecutor told a supportive crowd that “idiots” are targeting her for prosecuting former President Donald Trump and resorting to “schoolyard” tactics like comparing her name to “a woman’s rear.” During a rally in March, Trump mocked her name as “fanny, like your ass,” according to Politico.

“While they’re over there running they mouth, I’m over here paying them no mind. See I’m so tired of hearing these idiots call my name as ‘Fanny’ in a way to attempt to humiliate me. Because like silly school boys, the name reminds them of a woman’s rear,” she said in an assortment of clips obtained by Fox News. That clip was likely seen by jurors, Honig surmised, proving Trump has a case for dismissal. “That’s going to incline them against [Trump], and I think Trump’s got a real leg to stand on there. It wouldn’t at all shock me if the Georgia court of appeals agrees and says ‘prosecutorial misconduct, this case is out,’” he added.

WATCH:

In response to Willis’s case, a Republican attorney is challenging her for reelection in November, though the far-left district will be an uphill battle. A state lawmaker who recently registered from Democrat to Republican accused Willis of failing to grant her a restraining order against an abusive stalker. Meanwhile, the state legislature and a newly appointed oversight board are contemplating the total removal of Willis from office on the grounds that she violated her oath as a prosecutor.
