I'm Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Thursday, December 19th, and this is your Morning Wire afternoon update.
Fulton County DA Fannie Willis has been disqualified from the election interference case against President-elect Donald Trump. Daily Wire Deputy Managing Editor Tim Rice has the latest.
In a two-to-one decision, the Georgia Court of Appeals ruled Willis' involvement created a significant appearance of impropriety, citing her relationship with former special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who allegedly misused taxpayer funds during the case. While the court stopped short of dismissing the charges, it ordered the case reassigned to another prosecutor.
Trump and 18 co-defendants still face racketeering charges stemming from alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. While the ruling can still be appealed to Georgia's Supreme Court, for now, it's considered to be another major legal victory for the president-elect.
A California man has been detained after being linked to Monday's school shooting in Madison, Wisconsin. Daily Wire reporter Zach Jewell has more.
Authorities say the man from Carlsbad plotted his own mass attack on a government building while communicating and coordinating with the 15-year-old shooter. FBI agents questioned the man and authorities seized firearms and ammunition from his home under a red flag law.
The Wisconsin shooter, who we are not naming due to a company policy, killed two people and wounded six others at a Christian school before taking her own life. Police say they're investigating writings that may reveal a motive. Meanwhile, Carlsbad authorities say there's no ongoing threat to the community.
Israel launched airstrikes today targeting Iranian-backed Houthi militants in Yemen after a missile struck an empty school in Ramat Gan. The IDF says 14 fighter jets hit ports and energy sites used for military purposes.
