In a majority opinion written by Judge E. Trenton Brown issued on Thursday, December 19, the Georgia Court of Appeals ruled that Fulton Country District Attorney Fani Willis is disqualified from prosecuting former president and current President-elect Donald J Trump, citing the appearance of impropriety in Willis’s prosecution of Trump. As background, Willis brought a case against Trump and over a dozen of his 2020 campaign and legal staff, arguing that they committed election interference in 2020.

Despite the controversy, Harry and Meghan continue to limit the number of public photos of their children, focusing on protecting their privacy and security.

Maximizing space and maintaining an organized home or office often requires creative and thoughtful storage solutions. Whether it’s in your kitchen, office, or another part of your living space, smart and efficient storage can significantly improve both functionality and aesthetics. The kitchen is a great example of where lack of storage can lead to unnecessary clutter and inconvenience, especially during cooking. But there are often overlooked areas that hold a lot of untapped potential—like the space above the refrigerator.
