Donald Trump’s lawyers have joined a legal effort by one of his co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case to disqualify Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis from prosecuting them.

A complaint filed by Trump’s defense attorneys on Thursday accuses Willis of injecting “racial animus” into the case and violating his prosecutorial responsibilities, pointing to allegations that he hired an outside prosecutor with whom he was romantically involved.

The motion by Trump attorneys Steve Sadow and Jennifer Little follows allegations by co-defendant Mike Roman, who alleged in a court filing that Willis appointed Nathan Wade as lead prosecutor in the case while she was in a romantic relationship with him.

The Smiths’ objection to Trump using their songs does us all a disservice

David Listerfor Independent Voiceswrites:

“Johnny Marr, once a guitarist and co-writer in an 80s band The Smiths, a joint has broken. He is furious because donald trump is using a Smiths song “Please, please, let me get what I want” as his campaign music. Marr doesn’t want her song to be associated with a politically right-wing man. And Trump is even further to the right than Marr’s former bandmate Morrissey…

“But I think rock stars are wrong to feel upset when their music is used by politicians they disapprove of. It’s not just that it can be interpreted as virtue signaling, it’s something much more important: limiting their music to one side of the political spectrum diminishes it (and them) a bit.

Good music is art and art, once it is “out there,” belongs to everyone. Like a play, a novel or a painting, it is up to each person to make their own interpretations, use and love.”

The world is already in Trump-induced chaos. Prepare for things to get worse

Leslie Vinjamuri write for Independent Premium:

“Fear spread across Europe, a continent home to more than 746 million people, when just over 300,000 people turned out to vote in a small state in the upper northeast corner of the United States and cast a ballot. resounding 11-point victory (an advantage of just over 36,000 votes) for the former president donald trump. With the outcome of the New Hampshire primary, the hope that Nikki Haley could turn the tide and return some degree of normalcy to the Republican Party quickly collapsed.

“Moderate Republicans, Democrats, independents and America’s closest allies in Europe and Asia had been watching this picturesque New England state to see if voters catapult Haley to be a serious contenderfor the Republican nomination. In a high-stakes election that could have a dramatic effect on democracy in the United States, and on America’s long-standing global commitments on everything from climate change to European security, defense of Ukraineand the United States’ security commitments to both South Korea and Japan, there is no shortage of spectators.”
