The presiding judge in former President Donald Trump’s Georgia election subversion case said he will deliver his decision on the ethics allegations against District Attorney Fani Willis on Friday and that it will not “be based on politics.” Georgia Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee confirmed to CNN affiliate WSB on Thursday that he will issue his order on whether to remove Willis from prosecuting Trump and the remaining co-defendants on Friday – in line with a previously set self-imposed deadline. “Should be out tomorrow,” he told WSB. “I made a promise to everybody. These kinds of orders take time to write. I need to make sure I say exactly what I want to, and I plan to stick to the timeline I gave everyone.” McAfee also said his ruling will be based on the law. “The message I always want to convey is that no ruling of mine is ever going to be based on politics,” he said. “I’m going to be following the law as best I understand it.” McAfee had told the court at the end of the Willis disqualification hearings that he would take at least two weeks to decide.
Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump’s pick to lead the intelligence community, was briefly placed on a Transportation Security Administration list that prompts additional security screening before flights after her overseas travel patterns and foreign connections triggered a government algorithm earlier this year, three sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
