    In breaking news, the Georgia Court of Appeals has ruled that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her office should be removed from the 2020 election interference case. This bombshell decision upends the last remaining criminal case against incoming President Donald Trump. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Patricia Murphy, Greg Bluestein, and Bill Nigut analyze the implications of the ruling and its impact on Georgia politics. We also explore the latest updates on Atlanta’s police training center, which is nearing completion despite years of controversy. AJC’s Riley Bunch shares insights from her tour of the facility and its anticipated opening. Next, we speak with Attorney General Chris Carr, who has officially launched his campaign for Georgia governor. Carr discusses why he entered the race early and his vision for leading the Peach State. Finally, we break down Congress’s failed funding negotiations, which included over $100 billion in disaster aid. We’ll look at the pressure from President-elect Trump and Elon Musk on Republican lawmakers and assess the chances of avoiding a government shutdown.

Solid, honest news.

I simply love Bill Nigut and his team! They bring really good news that's based on fact. They break down Georgia, National and International issues so that ordinary people can digest it.
