Politically Georgia

Bombshell allegations against Fulton County district attorney embolden GOP critics


Listen Later

New allegations against District Attorney Fani Willis energize critics of Fulton County's election-interference case against former President Donald Trump. On this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's "Politically Georgia" podcast, hosts Patricia Murphy, Bill Nigut and Greg Bluestein talk with professors Anthony Michael Kreis and Fred Smith about the latest legal headlines.  

  

First up, no evidence has yet emerged supporting a motion filed in Fulton County Superior Court alleging an inappropriate relationship between Willis and the special prosecutor she appointed to lead the Trump election conspiracy criminal case. But if it’s proved true, what impact could it have on the prosecution of the case? And what are the political implications for Willis, who is up for reelection this fall? Republicans are jumping on the charge to say it proves the case is purely political.  

   

Then, a look at the federal civil trial brought by plaintiffs who say Georgia’s Dominion voting machines are vulnerable to hacks that might change the outcome of an election.  

   

Finally, Greg Bluestein has a report on what Gov. Brian Kemp, state House Speaker Jon Burns and Lt. Gov. Burt Jones told a crowd of business leaders and others were the key elements of their agendas for the 2024 legislative session.
