MAGA DAILY NEWS UPDATE—Judge blocks Fani Willis in Trump case fallout, a major legal twist just unfolded in Fulton County. A judge has ruled that District Attorney Fani Willis cannot take part in an ongoing dispute over legal fees tied to her failed racketeering case against Donald J. Trump and several co-defendants.
Judge Scott McAfee made it clear that since Willis was previously removed from the case due to a conflict of interest, her office has no standing in this matter.
Now, Trump and other former defendants are seeking nearly $16.8 million in legal expenses from the county. Under Georgia law, that kind of reimbursement can be pursued when a prosecutor is disqualified from a case. The original case, which focused on alleged efforts to challenge the 2020 election results in Georgia, ultimately collapsed after an appeals court found a conflict involving special prosecutor Nathan Wade. A new special prosecutor later declined to move forward with the charges. In other exciting news Clay Fuller has won the 14th congressional special election runoff in Georgia.
