Trump Urges Georgia GOP To Impeach Fani Willis For Prosecuting Him—An Unlikely Outcome

The Prosecuting Attorneys Qualifications Commission established in July and can begin accepting complaints in October, though a group of Georgia DAs are suing to block the law. The new law gives the commission broad authority to remove prosecutors who "refuse to uphold the law" and could be used to target prosecutors who say they will refuse to enforce anti-abortion laws.

How Trump's attacks on prosecutors build on history of using racist language and stereotypes

Donald Trump’s response this week to his fourth criminal indictment in five months follows a strategy he has used for years against legal and political opponents: relentless attacks, often infused with language that is either overtly racist or is coded in ways that appeal to racists. The former Republican president and 2024 candidate has repeatedly hinted at race in his verbal broadsides. The district attorneys in New York and Georgia who have charged him with state crimes are Black. The tendency to make such attacks both animates his base and raises safety concerns among advocates who worry he could be worsening online vitriol and inspiring violence.
