Rachel Maddow dedicated her Monday night show to Donald Trump’s Georgia election fraud case, which has been pushed back until 2025 due to ongoing attacks on Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
“Prosecutors asked the judge to start this trial two months ago. The first trial date they asked for was early March 2024. That was going to be first,” Maddow reminded everyone. This is a far more serious case than Trump’s current New York hush money case. When audio tape came out of then-President Trump pressuring Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” votes, Willis was obligated to open a criminal investigation.
“Of course she did. How could she not have?” Maddow asked. But as soon as she did, “They opened the floodgates on her.”
