Georgia prosecutors await word to go 'full speed ahead' against Trump: expert

Reacting to concerns that a Donald Trump presidential immunity bid being heard in the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on Tuesday could derail the trial of the former president in Fulton County, Georgia, one legal expert claims he doesn't see that happening.

According to a report from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, all eyes are on the court this week as the three-judge panel will rule on an appeal from the former president that he can't be tried in Judge Tanya Chutkan's courtroom for his actions related to the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol.

With that in mind, Norm Eisen, former ethics czar under President Barack Obama observed, "There can be no more important legal question this year or any year."

According to the AJC, Fulton County DA Fani Willis has claimed her office has looked into the immunity issue and she stated, "I think we’re in a good place.”

In an interview, Eisen agreed.

The attorney stated that an adverse ruling for Trump by the appeals judges would be all they need so that they "can proceed full speed ahead.”

Eisen also claimed the worries about Trump's immunity shouldn't concern Georgia's prosecutors, telling the AJC, “So there need be nothing that slows down the Georgia pretrial preparations."
