Merchant: We Have Even More Evidence Fani Willis Lied

Ashleigh Merchant, the attorney who first revealed that Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis was in a relationship with former special prosecutor Nathan Wade, is teasing new evidence against Willis.

Merchant, who is representing Trump co-defendant Michael Roman, suggested on Wednesday that the Georgia state Senate's ethics investigation of Willis—which was launched in the wake of her own motion to disqualify the DA—could turn up additional evidence against Willis.


"There's a lot of information that wasn't necessarily relevant to my motion that I wasn't able to bring into court but that other agencies are also investigating," Merchant told Fox and Friends, referencing the bombshell court filing she submitted on January 8.

Merchant probably won't get to use it in the appeal of McAfee's ruling, since appellate courts almost never revert to triers of fact. They could order McAfee to reopen the evidentiary phase and reconsider on the basis of new evidence. There's enough in McAfee's record, however, to give the appellate court reason to disqualify Fani "Odor of Mendacity" Willis from the case.

The new evidence should be of interest to the state bar and to the legislature, however.
