The #Fulton County District Attorney’s Office says it's appealing Judge Scott McAfee's order that dismissed six counts from the 2020 election interference indictment — including three of #Trump's charges. #Georgia#legal
Also last night: incumbent Cobb DA Flynn Broady was defeated by Sonya Allen, one of #FaniWillis’ deputies in the #Fulton DA’s office. Willis had cut an ad for Allen ahead of Election Day #Georgia
Two of the highest-profile candidates on the ballot: the judge and lead prosecutor in the #Fulton election interference case. Judge Scott McAfee is asking voters for a full, four year term on the bench, while DA #FaniWillis wants a second term #Georgia
BREAKING: Bank records show that special prosecutor Nathan Wade purchased airline tickets in his and #Fulton County DA #FaniWillis’ name for trips to San Francisco and Miami
The info was contained in Nathan Wade's credit card statements, which were incl in a filing from his wife on Fri as part of their divorce case.
The filing appears to bolster allegations of a romantic relationship between Nathan Wade and DA Willis #legal#Georgia#TrumpIndictment
JOHN #EASTMAN just appeared on 5th fl of #Fulton Cty courthouse ahead of procedural hearing before Judge McAfee. Most of today's motions are from codefendant #HarrisonFloyd
As far as I can remember this is 1st time we've seen Eastman in Fulton since his surrender at cty jail in Aug
On the agenda: request from Team #Trump to compel prosecutors to hand over correspondence with the Jan. 6 cmte chair; motion from defendant Kutti's lawyers to drop her as a client; request from #Giuliani to interview the 4 defendants who took pleas; outstanding RICO issues #TrumpIndictment#legal
Just in: #Fulton Judge McAfee is granting #Trump defendant Shawn Still's request for a stay from "all aspects of the case" until April 18, a few weeks after the legislative session ends. Still, who was charged for his role as a Trump elector, is a state senator #Georgia#TrumpIndictment#legal
In #Fulton County, Judge Scott McAfee denies several motions filed by #Trump co-defendant #HarrisonFloyd. According to McAfee, the motions are overly broad, vague, or lack specificity.
Don’t judge the lawyers too harshly. These are boilerplate motions that routinely filed in #Georgia state-level criminal court cases. The attorneys think they’re preserving appellate rights by filing them.
New: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a criminal referral against #Fulton DA #FaniWillis and her staff with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and AG Chris Carr. It cites the bombshell allegations from Monday's court filing from defendant Mike Roman
Worth reiterating that we haven't seen evidence yet backing up Roman's claims, nor have we heard from DA Willis, who says she'll respond in an upcoming court filing. #legal#Georgia#TrumpIndictment
The flurry of pretrial motions has officially begun ahead of Monday's deadline for all but a handful of the remaining 15 defendants in #Fulton.
Defendant Shawn Still, a state senator who was indicted for his role as a #Trump elector, is opposing DA #FaniWillis' proposed Aug. 5 start date. He says it's unfair to start a trial in the heat of his re-election campaign. #legal#TrumpIndictment#Georgia
BREAKING: #Trump#Georgia Co-Defendant’s Lawyers File Notice to Withdraw from RICO Case
Defense lawyers for Trevian Kutti, the former publicist for the rapper known as Kanye West, on Monday night filed notice they want to drop their client in the #Fulton County case #legal#TrumpIndictment 1/…
See how heartfelt they are? You can almost hear their regretful snickers, er, tears... 🤦🏻♀️

Two of the apology letters in the #Fulton Trump case - from Ken Chesebro and Sidney Powell and obtained by the AJC - were handwritten and just one line long. #Georgia#legal#TrumpIndictment
Happening today: At 9 am ET, a panel of judges on the 11th Cir. Court of Appeals will hear oral argument on #MarkMeadows’s efforts to remove his #Fulton County criminal charges to federal court.
You can listen to oral argument via livestream. #Georgia#legal

It says criminal charges so did I lose track and we're now unintentionally talking about different things?
EXCLUSIVE: #Fulton prosecutors' witness list in the #Trump elections case includes several top #Georgia officials and former senior members of Trump's Justice Department, including Bill Barr, Jeffrey Rosen and Richard Donoghue.
You don't have to be a fan of #FaniWillis' investigation to find it bizarre that the entire basis of this "coordination" claim is that Willis made a routine request to #Jan6 committee to see their records (& we don't even know if the committee responded).
