After the shocking revelation that Fani Willis lied to the court about the start of her improper romantic relationship with Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade, MSNBC has been forced to admit defeat.
“This is epic, this is monumental… Fani Willis lied to the court, it’s game over for her. She will be disqualified,” a legal analyst for the network declared.

Earlier today, Willis’ friend Robin Yeartie claimed she had “no doubt” that Willis and Wade’s love affair began in 2019 — not 2021, as Willis reported in court documents.
Forbes broke down the details:
Robin Yeartie, a former Fulton County District Attorney’s office employee who described herself as a former close friend of Willis, said Willis and Wade began dating shortly after an October 2019 judicial conference, when Wade was working as a lawyer and municipal court judge in Cobb County, and before Willis hired him to work on the Trump case.
The allegations contradict Wade’s and Willis’ claims that the two began their relationship after he was hired as special counsel in 2022.
ADVERTISEMENTYeartie made the claims while testifying before Judge Scott McAfee during a hearing to determine whether Willis should be thrown off the case over conflict of interest allegations surrounding her relationship with Wade lodged by Trump and his co-defendants.
Citing her own personal observations of “affection” between the two and information Willis shared with her about the relationship, Yeartie said she has “no doubt” the two were in a relationship from 2019 until at least 2022, the last time she spoke with Willis and the year she resigned from the district attorney’s office.
Yeartie said she resigned when the district attorney’s office threatened to terminate her after “a situation happened that wasn’t [her] fault.”
President Trump responded to MSNBC’s admission on Truth Social, calling the “FAKE FANI WILLIS CASE” a “SCAM”:

Mediaite commented on what the MSNBC legal analyst had to say about the Fani Willis case:
Legal Analyst Caroline Polisi flatly declared on MSNBC Thursday morning that the Fani Willis ostensibly lying under oath was “game over for her” in the election fraud trial against former President Donald Trump.
Polisi is a federal and white-collar defense attorney and senior FBI official who frequently appears on both MSNBC and CNN and did not demur on how bad a day this is for the Fulton County DA.
“Don’t let the legalese fool you,” she opened. “This is epic. 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. If they had a relationship prior to when they represented truth to the court, it’s a huge deal. I can’t overstate.”
Polisi added further context to Mediaite, saying “Willis will be disqualified, which means her entire office is disqualified, which means the case will have to be re-assigned and languish with the PAC of Georgia, effectively killing the case. Her credibility is completely shot.”
