His vision for alternative energy led to installing solar panels on the White House, which he called “a small part of one of the greatest and most exciting adventures ever undertaken by the American people.”

BREAKING NEWS: Georgia Court Disqualifies Fulton DA Fani Willis from Trump Election Case
NNPA NEWSWIRE — The controversy surrounding Willis stems from her romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor she appointed to the case. Trump and his co-defendants had argued that the relationship created a conflict of interest and requested Willis’ removal. Judge McAffee initially determined that the "appearance of impropriety" required either Willis or Wade to step aside. Wade resigned hours after that decision.
