Fani Willis' case is also 'doomed' if Jack Smith's SCOTUS bid fails: legal expert

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ Georgia election interference case will be “doomed” if the Supreme Court rules Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s case, legal analyst Elie Honig said Monday.

“If Donald Trump is to win here, obviously Jack's Smith federal election interference case is out the window,” Honig said.

“I also think Fani Willis' case is doomed.”

Honig’s comments arrive on the heels of a headline filing from Smith, who seeks to fast-track his Washington D.C. case against Trump by leapfrogging the appeals court system.

Monday’s ruling requests the Supreme Court consider as soon as possible whether or not Trump can be prosecuted for allegedly criminal actions undertaken as a U.S. President.

Honig told Jake Tapper on CNN Monday afternoon that Trump’s hush money and White House documents cases would likely be unaffected as those criminal charges are tied to actions before and and after his presidency.

But Willis’ case, in which she accused Trump and 18 others of corruptly attempting to overturn the 2020 election results in her state, stands especially vulnerable, said Honig.

“If [Trump] wins here I think two of the four cases are going to be out the window,” Honig said.
