Atlanta, GA – Today, Judge Scott McAfee ruled that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her office can continue prosecuting former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants only if special prosecutor Nathan Wade steps down. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement:

“Judge McAfee’s ruling is appalling. It is clear to any fair-minded person that Fani Willis disqualified herself by hiring her lover to lead the Trump prosecution, abusing government funds, and then engaging in perjury and obstruction of justice during her hearing. And then there’s the fact that Willis’ prosecution of Trump and his co-defendants has no basis in law and is naked election interference. This week, Gov. Kemp signed legislation that lets a state commission begin operating with powers to discipline and remove prosecutors. Because the state legislature in Georgia has abdicated its constitutional power to impeach, that commission must act to remove Willis immediately. Every moment this sham prosecution is allowed to continue is a total miscarriage of justice.”
