Judge Scott McAfee has received campaign donations from several Georgia-based lawyers.
An attorney representing John Eastman, one of former President Donald Trump's co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case, donated to Judge Scott McAfee, who is overseeing the trial.McAfee is seeking reelection to his nonpartisan position as Fulton Superior Court judge on May 21 as he oversees one of the most high-profile trials in the country.
Parker said support among lawyers for McAfee is 'not a matter of politics' but instead a 'matter of making good legal decisions based on the law.''You come across capable men and women who are good for the judicial system more often than not. In the case of the state of Georgia, where they are elected, you do what you can to make sure they remain in office,' he said.
