Despite calls by some legal experts to recuse herself from the case to protect its integrity, she is not expected to do so, the sources told CNN. Still, a source familiar with the thinking inside the DA’s office told CNN they would be “mystified” if it succeeds in removing her. “I think a lot of what I’ve read is more of a distraction and not legally substantive,” James told CNN in a sit-down interview. I think it’s very unlikely that we’ll see any criminal action come out of that,” Kreis told CNN. If Willis ultimately survives the current push to disqualify her, the case would effectively be back on track, sources told CNN.

Allegations have surfaced of an affair between Fulton County DA Fani Willis and an attorney she hired. AdvertisementFulton County District Attorney Fani Willis hired attorney Nathan Wade to lead the Georgia prosecution of Donald Trump and 18 others over efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The lawyer is seeking to get the indictment tossed and to remove Willis and Wade from the case. Outside of any effect on this case, Willis, an elected Democrat, is up for reelection this year, and this could become a campaign issue depending on how she ultimately responds. Records show Wade billed for what he described as "travel to Athens; conf with White House Counsel" in May 2022.

(CNN) – Fulton County prosecutors have discussed potential plea deals with at least six additional co-defendants charged alongside Donald Trump for attempting to subvert the 2020 presidential election, multiple sources tell CNN. Pro-Trump lawyer Robert Cheeley is among those who have been offered a plea deal in the Georgia case but, according to his lawyer, turned it down. A source with knowledge of the Fulton County DA’s strategy tells CNN that it would be open to discussing plea deals with anyone, but there is little room for compromise when it comes to the charges against Trump. To be clear, there is no indication that prosecutors or Trump’s legal team are interested in discussing a plea deal. John Eastman, who is also considered one of Trump’s most high-profile co-defendants, has not been offered a plea deal either, his lawyer told CNN.

După ce Guvernul american al lui Joe Biden a anunţat o serie de sancţiuni financiare împotriva Rusiei şi expulzarea a zece diplomaţi ruşi, Administraţia Vladimir Putin a anunţat, vineri, 16 aprilie, expulzarea a zece diplomaţi americani, transmite Novaya Gazeta. Potrivit sursei citate, oficialii americani au fost numiți de departamentul rus de politică externă „personalități implicate în implementarea cursului anti-rusesc”. Administraţia Biden acuză acum oficial Rusia că este responsabilă de acest atac, după cum a lăsat deja să se înţeleagă. Jake Sullivan, consilierul prezidenţial american pentru Securitate Naţională, a declarat că Statele Unite vor să aibă „o reacţie semnificativă şi credibilă, nu să amplifice criza”. Preşedintele SUA, Joe Biden, şi omologul său din Rusia, Vladimir Putin, ar trebui să organizeze un summit „pentru a discuta toate problemele din relaţia bilaterală”.
