A growing number of legal analysts are of the opinion that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis could soon face perjury charges stemming from developments in her case involving former President Donald Trump.

Under oath, Willis testified that she and Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor she hired to assist with the case, began dating only after Trump’s indictment. However, the former president’s attorneys assert they can disprove this claim with phone records.

Several legal experts spoke to Newsweek and expressed concerns about Willis’ testimony.

Willis, a Democrat, may face charges of perjury from Georgia Attorney General Christopher Carr, according to Eric Anderson, an attorney at Early Sullivan Wright Gizer & McRae in Los Angeles, California.

“Given the political climate, I would not be completely surprised if the attorney general, a Republican, acts. Attorney General Carr has shown a willingness to take on elected officials in criminal proceedings before,” Anderson said.

“When it comes to politics, anything is possible. Unless the alleged perjury is about a fact material to the matter at hand, perjury charges are not likely for a regular witness,” Anderson added.

Stephen Gillers, a law professor at New York University, told the outlet that the former president’s attorneys want “to shift the question before the court from disqualification to perjury.”

“The judge should focus on the real disqualification question here. Is there any basis to find that Willis chose to pursue the case to generate income for Wade, which he would then use to take her on luxury trips?” Gillers said.

“The answer is no. Willis started her investigation in February 2021 and did not hire Wade, who was not her first choice, until nine months later. She got an indictment and four guilty pleas,” Gillers added.

Syracuse University Prof. Greg Germain told Newsweek that perjury charges are certainly on the table if the judge hearing the case believes Willis and Wade made false statements to the court.

“Willis could certainly be charged with perjury if a prosecutor can prove that Willis knowingly lied under oath. The matter would have to be referred to a prosecutor, presumably from another DA office or state or federal prosecutor, to bring the charges. It is not common for people to be charged with perjury for lying under oath about a personal relationship, but it certainly has happened in high-profile cases like Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinski. So yes, a perjury prosecution is possible,” Germain said.
