U.S.
Judge Scott McAfee, assigned to preside over Trump’s case in Georgia, will face a trial like no other
“”No judge in the world has had this case before. You could have a judge with 50 years of experience and it would still be a new and unique case,” Levinson said.
Levinson believes McAfee’s past history of working in the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office could help.
“He knows how the county prosecutor’s office functions. That will be helpful for him. He knows how criminal trials progress from the attorney’s side and that will be helpful for him.”
Though he’s still in his first year as a judge, this isn’t McAfee’s first time handling a case with a politically sensitive defendant. According to court documents, McAfee fined pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood $5,000 for violating an injunction in June. McAfee ruled Wood explicitly violated a court order prohibiting Wood from making public, derogatory statements about the plaintiffs in a civil case that is unrelated to Wood’s work with the former president.
Before his judicial appointment, McAfee was Georgia’s inspector general, tasked with investigating waste, fraud, abuse and corruption in the executive branch. Georgia’s Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, who chose him for the job in March 2021, called McAfee a “strong addition to my administration” because of his prior experience as a “tough prosecutor.” “

I just heard Joe DiGenova state that the DA in Georgia is the daughter of a Black Panther.
