The future of the Fulton County, Georgia election subversion case against Donald J. Trump and many many accused co-conspirators was <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/02/fani-willis-testimony-conflict-trump-georgia.html">cast into doubt this week</a> as the court saw evidentiary hearings in the defence’s motion to disqualify Fulton County AG Fani Willis. Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Slate’s chief Law of Trump correspondent <a href="https://slate.com/author/jeremy-stahl">Jeremy Stahl</a> to discuss why, even with a very high bar for removing Willis from the case, the court was dragged through some tawdry details that are bound to come back to hurt the prosecution, one way or another.Later in the show, executive director and co-founder of Court Accountability, <a href="https://twitter.com/alexaronson">Alex Aronson</a>, talks with Dahlia about what could possibly be done to make Supreme Court justices follow reasonable recusal guidelines (we’re looking at you, Justice Thomas), and whether the American electorate might at last be finding an appetite for court reform. In the Slate Plus segment, Jeremy returns to the podcast martini lounge to discuss what <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/02/trump-first-trial-hush-money-bragg.html">might be the first Trump case to reach a criminal trial</a>. They also discuss the latest on Trump’s claim of blanket immunity. <a href="https://my.slate.com/plus?utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=plus_pod&utm_content=Amicus&utm_source=show_notes">Sign up for Slate Plus</a> now to listen and support our show. To catch up on the ever-breaking Trump trial news, check out <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/jurisprudence">https://slate.com/news-and-politics/jurisprudence</a> Learn more about your ad choices.
