In a revelatory discussion on Megyn Kelly’s show, the spotlight turned to Fani Willis, featuring a critical analysis by Phil Holloway who dissected the potential implications for Willis should it emerge that she lied under oath.
The segment was catalyzed by a soundbite of Ashleigh Merchant, as she was questioned by the Georgia Senate about the repercussions of lying under oath. Merchant’s response was unambiguous, clarifying the gravity of the offense: “It’s a crime. It’s a felony. You’d lose your license. Perjury.”
Holloway delved deeper, outlining the stark penalties tied to perjury and the violation of an oath of office. “It’s a felony offense. It carries up to five years in prison. Perjury is also a felony. You can get disbarred for lying to the court,” Holloway explained.
The possibility of a criminal inquiry into Willis’s conduct has been a focal discussion. They hinted at the potential for accessing Willis’s communications as part of the probe, with Holloway saying, “Even if they’re deleted, law enforcement can still get them.”
Ashleigh Merchant, the intrepid attorney for a Trump co-defendant who broke the allegations of an affair between Fani Willis and Nathan Wade, indicated on the stand that she believed Willis met with Vice President Kamala Harris at some point during her investigation into Trump.
