Ashleigh Merchant says it wasn’t easy to file motion to dismiss Fani Willis from Trump election conspiracy case

Politically Georgia

Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Tamar Hallerman joins the podcast to discuss the in-depth interview she and colleague Bill Rankin conducted with attorney Ashleigh Merchant. Merchant explained the process she went through before deciding to file a motion seeking the dismissal of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the election interference case against former President Donald Trump.

Over at the state Legislature, state House Majority Leader Chuck Efstration, a Republican, and Democratic state Rep. Mary Margaret Oliver describe the overall tenor of the session as it approaches its end Thursday.

And on Capitol Hill, Tia Mitchell offers her insights on what it’s like to cover one of Washington’s most controversial elected officials, GOP U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is back in the headlines after filing a motion to remove U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson.
