Fani willis is not disqualified from prosecuting donald trump and his codefendants. But the judge, he didnt just issue a ruling judge mcafee issued an ultimatum either. She goes or nathan wade goes nathan wade went. And if youd thought robert hurs one line throwing some shade at President Biden was savage while judge mcafee is order hardly had any sunlight when it came to willis and wade, although there were moments that he recognized that the burden had not been met to show that they in fact, had a Conflict Of Interests that made a fair trial impossible.

Donald trumps trial on charges he tried to steal the 2020 election. In a court filing today, Special Counsel jack smith asked for a start date of january 2nd, 2024. He said this would vindicate the publics interest in a speedy trial, that will ultimately be decided by the judge presiding in that case, judge tanya chutkan. But even assuming she chooses a somewhat later start, there may be some delays along the way, donald trump is probably going to face trial in this case before the president ial election next november.
