An entire prosecutor’s office in Georgia has been disqualified from pursuing a case against an ally of former President Donald Trump because the prosecutor helped to raise funds for that ally’s political opponent.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s public support of Charles Bailey, who’s facing state Sen. Burt Jones in the race for lieutenant governor, has created “a plain—and actual and untenable—conflict,” Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney said in a July 25 ruling.
