Former Obama-appointed U.S. attorney Michael Moore ripped Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ testimony in court Thursday, proclaiming during a media appearance Friday morning that it was a “train wreck.”
Participating in a panel discussion on “CNN This Morning,” Moore said that Willis acted 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.
Last month, Defense attorney Ashley Merchant and her client Michael Roman, one of Trump’s co-defendants, alleged in court filings that Willis should be disqualified from the case, claiming that she financially benefited from hiring Wade because of their personal relationship.

“And it just becomes a train wreck. And so that’s sorta how I felt – it just went off the tracks.”
