Washington (AFP) - A Georgia judge on Wednesday dismissed several charges against Donald Trump and his co-defendants for their alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the southern state. Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee tossed out six counts in the indictment of the former president and his co-defendants in Fulton County. "This does not mean the entire indictment is dismissed," McAfee said in his nine-page ruling. Trump and 18 co-defendants were indicted in Georgia in August on racketeering and various other charges. Four co-defendants, including three former Trump cam...

Washington (AFP) - The Georgia prosecutor leading a racketeering case against Donald Trump provided dramatic courtroom testimony on Thursday as she responded with barely contained outrage to efforts to throw her off the case for inappropriate behavior. The former president and several other co-defendants have asked Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis following revelations she had a romantic relationship with the man she hired to work as the special prosecutor on the case, Nathan Wade. A combative Willis took the witness stand and emphatic...

Trump, in a court filing, alleged that Willis and Wade had an "improper...

Washington (AFP) - Fani Willis, the Georgia prosecutor who brought election interference charges against Donald Trump, acknowledged Friday that she had a romantic relationship with an attorney she hired to work on the high-profile case.

Willis, in a 176-page filing with Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, called the request "meritless" and urged the judge to reject it. Trump also faces federal ch...

Washington (AFP) - A Georgia prosecutor asked a judge on Friday to set August 2024 as the start date for Donald Trump's trial for allegedly conspiring to overturn the 2020 election results in the southern US state. Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis asked for the trial of the former president and his 14 codefendants to begin on August 5, 2024, three months before the US presidential election. Willis told Judge Scott McAfee, who will preside over the trial, that she had chosen the August date so as not to interfere with "Defendant Trump's other criminal trials." Willis, in an interview...

Washington (AFP) - A third Donald Trump campaign lawyer reached a plea deal on Tuesday that could see her testify for the prosecution in future trials, turning up the pressure on the former president as his legal woes grow. A tearful Jenna Ellis, 38, pleaded guilty to charges related to Trump's attempts to overturn his 2020 presidential election loss in the southern US state of Georgia. "If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post election challenges," Ellis told the court in Atlanta on Tuesday. The deal allowed her to avoid jail time by admit...

New York (AFP) - For most people, a police mug shot would be a badge of dishonor they would do anything to erase. For Donald Trump, it's a branding opportunity and political weapon. The scowling, vengeful stare captured at a Georgia jail on Thursday after Trump was booked on racketeering and conspiracy charges has quickly become his 2024 campaign symbol. T-shirts, mugs, stickers and beverage coolers bearing the first mug shot of a serving or former US president were put out by his team within hours of the photo's release. The image of the 77-year-old -- head tilted slightly down, his eyes glo...
