Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, who is overseeing the case against former President Donald Trump, made a small donation of $150 to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ campaign prior to his appointment.
McAfee, who was sworn in on Feb. 1, 2023 after being appointed by Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, made his donation in June 2020 while still working as an assistant U.S. Attorney for the Department of Justice (DOJ), according to financial disclosures. He will soon have to decide whether Willis should be disqualified over allegations that she financially benefited from appointing her romantic partner, Nathan Wade, to work on the Trump case.
McAfee also formerly worked under Fani Willis when she led the complex trial division in the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, according to the New York Times.
Atlanta-based criminal defense attorney and legal analyst Philip Holloway told the Daily Caller News Foundation McAfee’s donation was “nominal,” but said it should still have been disclosed to the defendants so they could determine “whether they believed that amounted to a conflict of interest on the part of the judge.”
Did he hand her cash?
Po lil Fani
The hits keep on coming
Being appointed by Kemp should be enough to make him recuse.
Right - as if him deflecting all the prosecutions questions while pandering to her tantrums wasn’t proof enough of bias…
This would be a real big deal if the judge and the DA were Republicans.
Willis is home free.
This is really surprising. I mean she is a public official. She might have even passed the Bar exam in some wacky improbable scenario
One thing you can take to the bank: Always follow the money!
CONFLICT OF INTEREST, IMO
Was the donation in CASH???
Well, well well.
Look what we have here. Another corrupt Judge.
It’s wrapped in foil and in her freezer
Well, he worked for her. He probably had no choice.
Fanny would say $150 is chump change.
It is becoming more and more obvious that there is zero ethics in the judiciary branch of our government, and mostly on the democrat judge side where politics has more weight than justice. When Americans can no longer get justice with the corrupt judges permeating our judicial branch, they will begin to take justice into their own hands.
Being appointed by Kemp is the same as being appointed by Raffensperger which is the same as being appointed by the DNC which is the same as being appointed by the CCP.
Kangaroo court until proven otherwise, that’s for sure.
Our nation is sick.
Are they sleeping together too?
