Fani Willis May File Charges Against Donald Trump In August

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis may be closer to announcing investigative charges against Donald Trump and others in an effort to subvert the 2020 Presidential Election.

In a letter Willis wrote to Fulton County judges, he made indications that decisions to bring charges in the investigation could come in August. He requested remote workdays for his staff and asked judges to avoid in-person hearings during that time.

I respectfully request that the judges do not schedule trials and in-person hearings during the weeks beginning Monday, August 7 and Monday, August 14, Willis wrote in the letter.

Willis pushed back the dates of announcing the charges to request more security and to provide safety deals.

Trump is on record asking former Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Gov. Brian Kemp who helped overturn the election on separate occasions. He asked Raffensperger in a phone call to help him get more than 11,000 votes, the amount by which he trailed Joe Biden in Georgia. In a recorded call that took place on Jan. 2, 2021, Trump told Raffensperger, All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.

Willis is examining whether the suspects in the case are guilty of criminal solicitation to commit election fraud, making false statements to state and local government officials, engaging in violence or threats related to election administration and racketeering.

If Willis chooses to indict Trump on a RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) charge, he could face up to 20 years in prison.

Willis could present his findings to a panel at that point and choose to indict the former president.
