Georgia prosecutors refused to respond to emails from Trump's lawyer over alleged "disrespectful" messages with racist undertones

A report exposed growing tensions between prosecutors and lawyers involved in the Georgia criminal case against Donald Trump for alleged racial reasons.

This Thursday, The New York Times published an article revealing that there was recently a tense exchange of emails between prosecutors and Trump's lawyer. According to the report, it all started after Steven H. Sadow, Trump's leading lawyer in Georgia, complained to the Prosecutor's Office about the lack of response to previous messages. "For the life of me, I cannot understand why you refuse to respond to the series of emails below," Sadow wrote.

A few days later, Daysha Young, an executive district attorney, responded that both she and Fani Willis "are aware, especially as African American women, that some find it difficult to treat with respect." In the email, Young claimed that many of the messages sent by Sadow were "disrespectful" and "lacking professionalism."

The group email thread later continued when Sadow denied there were any racist undertones in his messages, calling the accusation "offensive, uncalled for and untrue."

After this, Fani Willis, the prosecutor leading the accusation against the former president, intervened in the discussion, supporting the position of her colleague Young. "In the legal community (and the world at large) some people will never be able to respect African Americans and/or women as their equal and counterpart," she said. "some are so used to doing it they are not even aware they are doing it while others are intentional in their continued disrespect," she added.

It is unclear whether the exchange of messages continued, and Sadow's and Willis's offices have declined to comment. However, last Sunday, Willis gave a speech at a church in Atlanta in which she once again used racism as a resource by stating that it is because of color that there are new accusations against her for the alleged secret relationship she had with the special prosecutor, Nathan Wade, who is also black.

It should be noted that the allegations against Willis for improper conduct will be investigated in a hearing scheduled for February 15 by Georgia Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee.
