Former President Donald Trump has made several false and misleading statements about crime in Atlanta, specifically targeting Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Trump claimed that murder and other violent crimes in Atlanta have reached unprecedented levels, and he accused Willis of allowing a "giant murder wave" to occur. However, these claims are untrue. According to Atlanta Police Department statistics, the number of murders in the city is actually down 25% this year compared to last year, and violent crime has also decreased significantly. Even though there was a spike in murder rates from 2020 to 2022, this was part of a national trend that began before Willis took office. Trump's assertions about crime in Atlanta are not supported by the data and appear to be politically motivated.
