A judge disqualified Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from investigating possible interference in the 2020 election in Georgia by state Sen. Burt Jones.

One of the focuses of the special grand jury investigating allegations of possible illegal activity related to the 2020 election in Georgia is a group of alternate electors for former President Donald Trump. Jones served as one of those electors.

Jones, who is a Republican running for Lieutenant Governor in Georgia, went to court to block Willis from investigating saying it would be unfair if he was compelled to testify since Willis held a fundraiser for his opponent, Charlie Bailey.

Chief Judge Robert McBurney agreed with Jones. The state senator from Jackson issued a statement after the ruling:

"Today’s ruling is a huge win for our campaign—but more importantly, for due process and the rule of law in Georgia.

"If Fani Willis and Charlie Bailey spent half as much time addressing real issues as they did grandstanding and using their offices to score political points, Atlanta might not have the record number of homicides that it does under their watch.
