In the United States, the Justice Department has asked a federal judge to recuse herself from overseeing the department's lawsuit against Georgia election officials, arguing that her attendance at an event honoring Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis raises questions about her ability to remain impartial.

Meanwhile, a California judge has recused a Jewish prosecutor from a vandalism case involving antisemitic activists, sparking concerns about ideological bias in the justice system. The prosecutor, Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen, had charged 12 people with felony vandalism and felony conspiracy to trespass, but did not charge them with hate crimes.
