Legal Experts Analyze Trump's Potential Defamation Lawsuit Against Fani Willis

Legal expert suggests that Donald Trump could sue Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for defamation following "damning" comments by the trial judge in Trump's election fraud trial in Georgia. The judge criticized Willis for casting "racial aspersions" on Trump and his co-defendants, and suggested that Trump's relationship with Willis' prosecutor showed a "tremendous lapse in judgment." The legal expert believes Trump may have grounds for a defamation claim, but Willis may have immunity as a district attorney. Willis has faced accusations regarding her relationship with the prosecutor and her comments at an Atlanta church on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
