DA Fani Willis' credibility has been damaged following a misconduct hearing, legal experts said. Willis' 'credibility is shot'Legal experts have long said that the hearing, and the relationship between Willis and Wade, doesn't look good for Willis.

Mark Meadows wants his criminal case moved to federal court, under an Obama-appointed judge. A federal judge may be more sympathetic to arguments that he's immune from the case, experts say. Meadows, Clark, and several other defendants have asked to have their cases removed to federal court. "A federal court judge might be more sympathetic to some of their federal constitutional defenses that they might want to raise," Ratakonda told Insider. A state court proceeding would also take in jurors from Fulton County, which voted overwhelmingly for Biden in 2020.

Donald Trump on Monday lost his latest effort to quash a special Georgia grand jury report and disqualify the Atlanta district attorney who is considering whether to criminally charge him with interfering in the state's 2020 election. The ruling by a Superior Court judge marked the second time this month that Trump has lost an effort to have Fulton County DA Fani Willis disqualified. Speaking at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania that same day, Trump said he expected Willis to indict him. Willis is investigating attempts by Trump and his allies to get Georgia officials to reverse his election loss to President Joe Biden in the state in 2020. Fulton County Judge Robert McBurney wrote in his ruling Monday that neither Trump nor Cathleen Latham, who was an "alternate" elector for Trump in 2020, had legal standing to challenge the grand jury report and the role of Willis.
