Fulton County District Attorney confirmed that the prosecution against Donald Trump for election interference has not been delayed despite ongoing proceedings related to her romantic relationship with a special prosecutor hired for the case.
Addressing concerns about potential delays, the DA stated, 'I don’t feel like we have been slowed down at all. I think there are efforts to slow down the train, but the train is coming.'
Trump, facing four felony indictments for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, has been pushing to delay and dismiss the cases, alleging political targeting by opponents.
Recent developments include a Georgia judge allowing Trump's codefendants' attorneys to appeal a ruling that permitted the DA to remain on the case following the special prosecutor's withdrawal.
While defense attorneys have raised allegations of impropriety due to the romantic relationship between the DA and the special prosecutor, the judge found insufficient evidence to support these claims but criticized the DA for a 'tremendous lapse in judgment.'
In response to criticisms, the DA defended her actions, stating, 'I’m not embarrassed by anything I’ve done. I guess my greatest crime is that I had a relationship with a man, but that’s not something I find embarrassing in any way.'
Legal experts, however, have expressed concerns over the DA's decision to speak to the media amid the ongoing case, with one law professor suggesting caution in handling public statements.
The case against Trump for election interference continues to unfold, with legal battles and controversies surrounding the DA's involvement and the allegations of impropriety.
