Judge in Trump RICO case appears to invoke Monty Python in ruling

The Georgia judge overseeing the historic racketeering case against former President Donald Trump and more than a dozen of his allies and supporters is apparently not without a sense of humor.

In a scathing order issued Friday, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee denied Donald Trump RICO co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro’s request to dismiss the indictment against him. Chesebro, one of the authors of the so-called “coup memo” that purported to provide a legal basis for Trump to stay in power despite losing the 2020 presidential election, argued that the office of District Attorney Fani Willis failed to file what he tried to argue was a required document before bringing the case.
