Judge Scott McAfee said in a motion Friday that it was 'legally improper' for District Attorney Fani Willis to use racially charged rhetoric while speaking about the Georgia case.
The judge in former President Trump's Georgia election interference case has allowed District Attorney Fani Willis to continue leading the prosecution, but he said her racially charged rhetoric about 'playing the race card' was 'legally improper.
In his order, McAfee separately took issue with a speech made by Willis at an Atlanta church in January of this year, when she claimed she and Wade were being scrutinized because of their race. While Willis later claimed not to be referring to the defendants in her accusations of racism, McAfee warned that such a distinction was not clear.
