i m arlette saenz at the white house. and this is cnn cnn s, breaking news i knew are in the cnn newsroom. i m wolf blitzer in washington. this morning. we re following all the reparations from the monumental ruling in the criminal case against donald trump in georgia the judge has just ruled fulton county district attorney, fani willis, can continue prosecuting trump and his allies in the georgia election subversion case. but she may only stay only state if the special prosecutor, nathan wade, who had a relationship with willis is removed, if willis and her team had been disclosed hello, fight, it would almost certainly have delayed a trial until after the presidential election in november. that is something trump desperately wanted in all of this. and as other legal cases as well, cnn s nick valencia is just outside the fulton county courthouse for acidic. can you walk us through this morning s historic ruling? wolf? it was historic, monumental decision fani willis ge
this is the ingraham angle and thanks as always for being with us tonight. forcing fani s hand. that s the focus of tonight s angle. today fani willis lost her special prosecutor, her credibility and any hope for a political future. and democrats dream of drowning donald trump in a flood of legal cases is not working out like they had hoped. and now they are the ones caught in the undertow. the technical win for fulton county district attorney fani willis massive indictment on her behavior. it is a slap to the head to the prosecutor but not a fatal knockdown punch. it s highly unlikely this will start before the election. this really did help the trump team not only in terms of delaying it but also in undermining the credibility of the overall justice system and the prosecutions against trump. laura: judge scott mcafee didn t take the entire load off fani. he didn t flat out disqualify her from the election interference case but the ruling handed down today was filled
