We got news, of sorts, in the election interference case in Georgia. It’s not exactly about the case being prosecuted by Fani Willis. But it carries a lesson for the case, as the Fulton County district attorney’s potential disqualification still looms. The news is that there’s finally a prosecutor assigned to investigate Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, whom Willis was barred from investigating before she brought her indictment against Donald Trump and others.
So what does this mean for Willis’ case against Trump and the 14 other remaining defendants in the racketeering case, all of whom have pleaded not guilty? Recall that, while the case is technically moving forward , there’s a pending defense appeal trying to have Willis and her office removed from the case. Judge Scott McAfee said that she could stay on it, and we’re waiting for the state appeals court to decide whether it’s taking up the defense’s pretrial appeal of McAfee’s ruling.
