>Court Rules Fulton DA Disqualified From Trump 'Election Interference' Case

 

Georgia appeals court disqualifies prosecutor Fani Willis in Trump 2020 election case

December 19, 2024

 

Summary:

  • Prosecutor Fani Willis disqualified over romantic relationship with deputy

  • Ruling requires new prosecutor to take over

  • Case against Trump already expected to be halted

 

Dec 19 (Reuters) - A Georgia appeals court ruled on Thursday that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis must be disqualified from prosecuting President-elect Donald Trump and several of his allies for attempting to interfere in the 2020 election in the U.S. state.

The ruling throws into doubt the future of the case, which includes Trump and 14 allies. The appeals court in Atlanta, in a 2-1 ruling, found that a romantic relationship between Willis and a former top deputy, Nathan Wade, created "a significant appearance of impropriety."

 

"While we recognize that an appearance of impropriety generally is not enough to support disqualification, this is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated and no other remedy will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings," the court wrote in its opinion.

Willis' office said in a court filing that it intends to appeal the ruling to the Georgia Supreme Court. A spokesperson for the office did not respond to a request for comment.

 

The case was one of four criminal prosecutions that Trump faced in the years since his 2020 presidential re-election loss. Just one — a New York case over a hush money payment to a porn star during his 2016 campaign — went to trial. He was found guilty in that case but has not yet been sentenced.

Trump criticized all four cases as politically motivated attempts to keep him from returning to power.

The Georgia court did not require that the case be tossed out, but its decision will require a new state prosecutor to take over in order for it to continue.

Steve Sadow, Trump's lead lawyer in the case, called it "a well-reasoned and just decision."

The case was already expected to be at least paused against Trump when he returns to the White House on Jan. 20. He has said it should be dismissed in its entirety.

"The American People have demanded an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system," a Trump spokesperson said in a statement reacting to the ruling….

Biden advisors used insecure pseudonymous email accounts to brief him on sensitive foreign policy.

December 18, 2024

 

New email records released by the National Archives show then-Vice President Joe Biden was briefed about sensitive foreign policy matters by then-advisor Antony Blinken on his private email account, including details about a failed North Korean missile launch.

 

Joe Biden, now president, first faced scrutiny about potential private accounts after emails contained on Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop showed the then-vice president in the Obama administration was using an email address with a pseudonym to communicate about business and official matters with his son, other family members, and senior staff.

 

One new email, part of several batches released by the National Archives pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit shows that in the hours following a North Korean missile launch in April 2012, Blinken—who was then Biden’s national security advisor—sent a message to the vice president’s private email account “robinware456@gmail.com” with details about the sensitive national security matter.
