‘Yet another victory’ for Donald Trump as ‘deep state’ handed devastating blow in bitter legal battle

Lee Cohen has hailed the disqualification of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from prosecuting Donald Trump’s Georgia election case as “yet another victory” for the former president.

Speaking on GBN America, the political commentator celebrated the court’s decision to remove Willis from the case.

“This is yet another victory for Donald Trump and for the side of right,” Cohen said, characterising the prosecution as part of what he termed a “deep state” effort against Trump.

The Georgia Court of Appeals ruled on Thursday that Willis and her office must be disqualified from prosecuting the election interference case against Trump.

The court found that Willis’s relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade created a “significant appearance of impropriety” in the proceedings.

While the court did not dismiss the indictment entirely, it declared that Willis and her team now have “no authority to proceed” with the case.

The ruling stated that Willis’s office will need to appoint a new prosecutor to take over the prosecution.

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Trump denounced the case as “a disgrace to justice.”

“It was started by the Biden DOJ as an attack on his political opponent,” Trump said, claiming that Willis and her boyfriend “stole funds and went on trips.”

Trump insisted the case “should not be allowed to go any further.”

The Georgia case remains the only outstanding criminal prosecution facing Trump as he prepares to return to the White House.

The controversy arose after Willis was accused in February of having an “improper” relationship with Wade, whom she had hired to help prosecute the case.

Wade was ultimately forced to step down from the prosecution team after the revelations.

The appeals court ruled that the “appearance of impropriety” could have tainted Willis’s decision-making, including choices about “who to prosecute and what charges to bring.”

The court determined that “no other remedy will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings.”

Speaking about the Georgia case itself, Cohen told GBN America: “This is a distortion of the law.”

He claimed Trump’s opponents were pursuing the case because “it seems as though that Trump keeps prevailing because they have nothing on him.”

“They tried to use the system against him and the system is not designed to be used that way,” Cohen added, suggesting the prosecution was part of what he characterised as “deep state” efforts against the former president.
