DA Fani Willis' credibility has been damaged following a misconduct hearing, legal experts said.
The hearing related to the romance of Willis and the man she hired to lead the Georgia case against Donald Trump.
Despite questionable testimony, possible perjury charges are very unlikely, said the experts.

In fiery, emotional testimony, the Georgia district attorney prosecuting Trump and his allies on election interference charges defended her romantic relationship with the lawyer she hired to lead the probe — insisting they didn't start dating until after she appointed him in 2021.
