Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is expected to present a case against former President Donald Trump and others to a grand jury in Georgia early next week. The investigation revolves around allegations of election interference during the 2020 election. The focus of the investigation is Trump's alleged request to Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" enough votes to reverse the election results. This comes after Trump's campaign team released a television ad attacking Willis and her character. The ad makes four distinct claims about Willis, which have been fact-checked by Newsweek and found to be false.
In response to the ad, Willis described the claims as "derogatory and false." However, she has not provided a detailed comment and has instructed her staff not to respond to inquiries. Trump has consistently criticized Willis and other prosecutors investigating his attempts to overturn the election results, portraying them as politically motivated attacks.
The grand jury presentation is expected to be a complex one, and witnesses, including former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan and independent journalist George Chidi, have been summoned to testify. Willis has been considering racketeering charges against Trump and his allies for their actions during the election period. The outcome of the grand jury hearing could determine if Trump will be indicted.
