Meadows has already shown himself willing to undermine his former boss in order to save his own skin. Those states could see a very different map in the coming election. Several other states including Louisiana, South Carolina, and Georgia are facing legal challenges to their racially gerrymandered districts. The Supreme Court’s ruling-and the outcome of the new map in Alabama-could have bigger implications across the South, and even help Democrats retake the House in 2024. Roberts wrote the majority opinion, and repeatedly rejected Alabama’s arguments in favor of keeping the current map as “unpersuasive” or of “little merit.” As a result of the racial gerrymandering, the state only has one Black representative.Ĭhief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined the three liberal justices in the June Supreme Court ruling that found Alabama’s congressional map illegally diluted Black votes. Black voters are scattered throughout the other districts, dramatically reducing their ability to elect their preferred candidates. More than a quarter of Alabama residents are Black, but currently only one of Alabama’s seven congressional districts is majority-Black.
Boston cited the domestic terrorism charges specifically and said that she and Attorney General Chris Carr had “fundamentally different prosecution philosophies.” In June, Atlanta District Attorney Sherry Boston announced that her office would withdraw from criminal cases tied to the Cop City Protests the state’s Republican Attorney General had leveled at protesters.

“These charges, like the previous repressive prosecutions by the State of Georgia, seek to intimidate protestors, legal observers, and bail funds alike, and send the chilling message that any dissent to Cop City will be punished with the full power and violence of the government.” “Today, Republican Attorney General Chris Carr, who used his platform to recruit for the January 6 insurrection, announced blatantly authoritarian RICO charges against 61 people,” the statement said. The Cop City Vote coalition, an Atlanta-based campaign leading a referendum to halt the construction of the police facility, released a statement condemning the indictment. The chief judge presiding over Trump’s other federal indictment case in Washington offered to assign a federal public defender to Taveras, and Taveras accepted. Prosecutors raised concerns in July that Woodward representing a defendant and a witness could create a conflict of interest. Taveras provided his original testimony when he was represented by Trump-appointed lawyer Stanley Woodward, who also represents Nauta. All three men are accused of trying to destroy evidence, including attempting to delete security footage off a server. His body man Nauta and a Mar-a-Lago employee De Oliveira have also been charged. Trump was charged in Florida with keeping national defense secrets, making false statements, and conspiracy to obstruct justice, among other things, for hoarding classified materials at Mar-a-Lago.
