#Trump & 18 of his allies were indicted in #FultonCounty, GA, last Aug, in a #RICO case. The case was brought by the DA #FaniWillis.
But the #racketeering case is unlikely to go to trial this yr. Part of the delay stems from an affair between Willis & the atty she hired to run the case, Nathan Wade. Defense claimed it created a conflict of interest.
Judge McAfee, held many hearings on the topic & decided not to disqualify Willis, if Wade stepped down; he did.
Those hearings are hardly the only matter weighing on the case. Dozens of pretrial motions have yet to be resolved, including recent sparring over the #precedent in a legal case from the 1890s.
Then there are appeals. Defense lawyers have appealed the disqualification decision to the #Georgia Court of Appeals, while DA #FaniWillis’s office has appealed Judge McAfee’s decision to quash a few charges.
WI’s AG filed charges against an aide & 2 attys who advised Trump over a meeting of #Republicans who claimed to be the state’s 2020 presidential electors even though Trump had lost the state.
The charges are the first in WI related to the meeting of electors. Prosecutors have separately charged Republicans who were involved in similar efforts in #Arizona, #Michigan, #Nevada & #Georgia.
'Let's be clear. #Atlanta, #Georgia is on a boil water advisory because local elected officials have chosen to prioritise the funding of violent police at the expense of local infrastructure, environmental safety and #democracy. #StopCopCity '
