WATCH: MSNBC Legal Analyst Says Fani Willis' Case Is 'Dead In The Water' After Shocking Testimony

On Thursday, the RICO case brought against 45th President Donald Trump by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis appeared to be "dead in the water," according to MSNBC legal analyst Caroline Polisi. The analyst's verdict comes after shocking testimony that could prove that Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who both have admitted to a romantic relationship with one another, lied to the court about when their affair began.

During his testimony, Wade testified that he paid for various luxury vacations using his business credit card and was then reimbursed with cash by Fani Willis. Wade has claimed that he and Willis paid for the vacations roughly equally; however, he only submitted on receipt proving as much. If he was reimbursed with cash, then there would not be any additional receipts showing that the two split the vacation expenses rather than Wade, who was hired by Willis and given a large salary, being the sole purchaser.

Making matters worse for the couple is testimony from a "good friend" of Willis' who claimed that the relationship with Wade began earlier than what both had claimed to the court. Robin Yeartie, who previously worked in the Fulton County District Attorney's office, told the court that she had no doubt that Willis and Wade were engaged in a romantic relationship beginning in 2019 despite the fact that Willis has claimed that they were only friends at that time. "You have no doubt that their romantic relationship was in effect from 2019 until the last time you spoke with her?" lawyer Ashleigh Merchant asked, to which Yeartie responded, "No doubt."

Yeartie's testimony is terrible news for Willis, who could be facing charges for lying to the court and, at the very least, be thrown off the case that she brought against President Trump.

"This has been a bombshell, and it has been a slow burn, but if you parse the language, huge, huge issues here," MSNBC legal analyst Caroline Polisi explained. "And I want to be really clear: this is not about a relationship between two consenting adults. It has nothing to do with that. It's about lying to the court; it's about potential financial gain on the part of Fani Willis... the issue is that her credibility is shot...If she lied to the court, if she submitted something to the court that she knew was false and inaccurate, what else is she lying about? It's a horrible, horrible look for her. I think this case is dead in the water."

“This is monumental. If things are going in the direction we think, Fani Willis lied to the court, it’s game over for her. She will be disqualified," Polisi added.

In the lengthy document submitted to the court last month, Willis admitted to the personal relationship with Wade, which she claimed began in 2022, but argued that the allegations against her are "meritless" and "salacious." 

She claimed that no romantic relationship took place in 2019; however, it is suspicious that Nathan Wade filed for divorce the day after being hired as a special prosecutor in Willis's office. She went on to argue that the judge should reject any attempt by Trump or the various co-defendants from attempting to get her removed from the case, and she claimed that there was no evidence that the relationship between Wade and herself impacted her work. 

As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, Nathan Wade's estranged wife, Joycelyn Wade, submitted a document to the Cobb County courthouse showing that the special prosecutor had paid for plane tickets for Fani Willis and himself to San Fransisco and Miami. The submission of the document comes after former Trump aid Michael Roman's lawyer Ashleigh Merchant filed a motion arguing that the duo prosecuting Trump were engaged in a romantic relationship that led to Willis paying him an exorbitant salary to then spend on lavish vacations. The district has paid Wade over $650,000 since he joined the office in November 2021.
