US judge recuses herself in Georgia election case after having sex with officer in chambers

In a surprising turn of events, a federal judge in Georgia has recused herself from an election records case after facing scrutiny for her past misconduct. Eleanor Ross, who was previously disciplined for an inappropriate relationship with a police officer and lying about it, stepped aside to avoid any potential perception of bias linked to the case. The move follows concerns raised by the US justice department about her impartiality. This situation highlights the importance of judicial integrity and the potential implications for ongoing legal proceedings.
