It began when the lead lawyer for Mr. Trump in Georgia, Steven H. Sadow, expressed annoyance with prosecutors for ignoring a request he had made. On Jan. 5, he wrote to prosecutors: “For the life of me, I cannot understand why you refuse to respond to the series of emails below.”

Five days later, Daysha Young, an executive district attorney who, like Ms. Willis, is Black, wrote that she and Ms. Willis “are both aware, especially as an African American woman some find it difficult to treat us respectfully.” …

Mr. Sadow, who is white, responded with an email in which he said that it was “offensive, uncalled for and untrue” to suggest that racism was at play. He also said that Ms. Young’s lack of response to some emails from the defense “suggests a degree of haughtiness.”

Then Ms. Willis weighed in.

[If I were a defense attorney in this case, I would take this chain of communications to the judge and move for dismissal, or at least disqualification of Willis and her office on this basis alone. It’s clear that Willis and her office are grinding personal and political axes here, not seeking justice on behalf of their communities. This is astoundingly unprofessional. As Guy Benson said on Twitter, it’s utterly shameless. David will have more on this later. — Ed]
