CNS News–In a bold move reflecting deep political divisions, Georgia State Senators Brandon Beach and Colton Moore have proposed an amendment to the state’s RICO statute, aiming to exempt certain offenses from racketeering charges. This legislative effort is directly tied to the charges faced by former President Donald Trump, seeking to retroactively impact his case.
The proposed changes come in the wake of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ indictments against Trump and his associates, related to allegations of electoral interference in Georgia. This legislative initiative is part of a broader Republican strategy to challenge Willis’ actions, which they perceive as politically motivated attacks on Trump.
The recent approval of a special committee by the state Senate and the passage of a bill to revive a commission for disciplining prosecutors underscore the intensifying clash over prosecutorial powers and political accountability in Georgia.
