‘By going after Trump, she’s able to get her boyfriend more money than they ever dreamed possible,’ the former president said.
Former President Donald Trump said that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s courtroom testimony Thursday shows that the case against him is “badly tainted” and another example of lawfare meant to derail his 2024 presidential comeback bid.
“It is so badly tainted. There is no case here,” President Trump told Fox News while Ms. Willis was testifying in a Georgia courtroom regarding allegations she engaged in an “improper” relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who was hired to help prosecute the 45th president on charges of election interference.
“By going after Trump, she’s able to get her boyfriend more money than they ever dreamed possible,” the former president said.
Several of President Trump’s co-defendants in the racketeering case have moved to disqualify Ms. Willis, arguing that she has a conflict of interest in the case and benefited from it financially.
“The case will have to be dropped,” President Trump continued. “There’s no way they can have a case. The whole thing was a scam to get money for the boyfriend.”
