Judge who had sex in courthouse and attended political event agrees to exit Georgia election case

U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross recused herself from a dispute over Georgia election records after the Justice Department questioned her impartiality and she said she wanted to avoid any perception of bias.
A judicial investigation privately reprimanded Ross after finding she had sex with a uniformed police officer in her chambers and initially lied about the incident.
Concerns were heightened because Ross attended an event tied to Fulton County DA Fani Willis—who led a high‑profile prosecution of Donald Trump—and previously worked in the DA’s office.
