Welcome to Fox News’ Politics newsletter with the latest political news from Washington D.C. and updates from the 2024 campaign trail. What’s happening? – Fulton County Fani Willis’ former lover and Nathan Wade pulls out of Trump case- Haitian migrant arrested on serious charges- Pro-Palestinian groups rebuff White House’s attempts to chatNo WadeThe judge in the Georgia election interference case has allowed District Attorney Fani Willis to continue leading the prosecution against former President Trump, but strongly admonished her behavior. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee slammed Willis’ speech to a church about the matter because it used racially charged rhetoric, was “playing the race card” and overall seemed “legally improper.” Though McAffee declined to disqualify Willis from the case due to her affair with special counsel Nathan Wade and other improprieties, he ruled that Wade would have to be removed from the case — or Willis would need to step back herself. Later Friday afternoon, Willis withdrew himself. In his resignation letter, he said he would step down “in the interest of democracy,” and so that the case could move forward “as quickly as possible.”Willis praised Wade in a written reply, and said she “will always remember” his courage, patriotism and “dedication to justice.” Judge Scott McAfee, left, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, center, and special prosecutor Nathan Wade, right.

But Trump said on social media that Wade’s resignation was “BIG STUFF.”‘PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT’: Trump attorney reacts to Fulton County judge’s Fani Willis decision …Read more’DISQUALIFIED’: Lawyer who exposed Willis-Wade relationship reacts to court ruling …Read moreTESTIMONY TOSSED: Georgia judge tosses key witness’ testimony against Fani Willis, citing ‘inconsistencies’: court order …Read moreWhite House’NO POINT’: Chicago Pro-Palestinian groups reject White House requests to meet before primary in strongly-worded letter …Read moreSINKING SLOWLY: Harris approval rating worse than Biden, Trump …Read moreSTRONG WORDS: House Speaker Johnson says White House doesn’t ‘call the shots’ on when impeachment is over …Read moreCapitol HillHIGH ENERGY: House GOP leaders target Biden energy policies in legislation blitz next week …Read more’CONTROL OUR LIVES’: Republicans unveil effort to reverse Biden climate rules targeting manufacturing …Read moreJOB-KILLER: Republican Sen.
