that there will be a penalty to be paid. reporter: and one thing sarah and i have been talking about and reporting on throughout the day is trump s new attorney that he met when he got here just an hour ago. i know you know him and know of him. he s a renowned criminal defense attorney here. given what you know about him, given what you know about fani willis do you shink she has an airtight case here? i ll put fani willis up against anybody any day. i wouldn t be surprised if there s not an attempt to negotiate a plea. he s represented a lot of high profile people obviously, but he does not have a flawless record, and fani is a darn good attorney. so if fani is putting this case up, i think that everybody should bring their a-game to the
their earlier. when they saw security lining up and chanting lock her up, and saying fani willis s name. when i pulled up, they thought that i was fani, and they started chanting that at me as well. and walking through the crowd. there was a lot of hatred out there. they thought that you are fani willis? they thought that i was fani willis, a managing that. a lot of hatred and really bad energy out here. but, you know, this is, when you sign up for a public service. you don t get to pick and shows you are good days and your bad. days i had full confidence, and was actually the corrections jaipur atlanta, and i saw him just yesterday, he is doing great and there are tough days that come with these jobs and i don t think that anyone wants to be subjected to threats.
notorious cases in our county, so she knows what she is doing. i worked with fani willis for many years. as young attorneys we started out together at the law firm, very young attorneys we work together as prosecutors and at the solicitors office. so she has grown into this role, and she is prepared for this. and at the point that fani it s not an indictment, i thought that there was struggle for the former president of the united states. why didn t they? she thought that they would pursue an indictment. and that there were something there. how do you think she enters that certain level of betrayal, and attacks, not just the former president who is also spoken a lot publicly about our. but also the supporters? we know that the office is just [inaudible] fani was built for this, she was raised primarily by a single father. i heard a joke that his idea that his idea of daddy daughter time was working on his cases.
table. reporter: how do you think she s watching all of this? do you think she just goes about her normal business as the city is kind of shutdown for the last few hours waiting for his arrival and having him come here? knowing fani willis as i do, she s not losing an ounce of sleepover this. and you have to remember even while all of this is going on, i mention the trial with young thug that s going on. there are other trials happening within the fulton county courthouse. there are other cases that her staff is preparing to try, so business is continuing in the courthouse, but i don t think fani is losing any sleepover this one. reporter: i imagine she s also trying to make sure the rest of the codefendants have actually turned themselves in. i mean 18 codefendants i ve lost track how many and i think there s just a couple stragglers who have not been processed through the jail.
extra innings, and that s what he did. the question here as we watch this play out is what impact is this going to have politically on the primary? because we re unlikely to see a trial before that. maybe we do, maybe we don t, but is it going to have any impact further than tonight and tomorrow? are voters going to rethink are primary voters going to rethink their vote when they go to the caucuses in iowa, when they go to polls in new hampshire, when they vote in south carolina? i mean that s to be determined, and, you know, still got a long way to go here. fani willis and others have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt he did all these things. the question is what political impact does it have inif trump gets convicted after the convention what happens? there s so many different iterations. or if he s going to the convention, someone mounts a floor fight like ted cruz is going to do in 2016 and we don t think presidents should be doing this, there s going to be a splintered group
