Despite calls by some legal experts to recuse herself from the case to protect its integrity, she is not expected to do so, the sources told CNN.
Still, a source familiar with the thinking inside the DA’s office told CNN they would be “mystified” if it succeeds in removing her.
“I think a lot of what I’ve read is more of a distraction and not legally substantive,” James told CNN in a sit-down interview.
I think it’s very unlikely that we’ll see any criminal action come out of that,” Kreis told CNN.
If Willis ultimately survives the current push to disqualify her, the case would effectively be back on track, sources told CNN.
