The fourth criminal case against Donald Trump is likely to intensify next week, when Fani Willis, the district attorney in Fulton County, Ga., is expected to take her election interference case to a grand jury.
Willis has focused her investigation on the weeks after Trump lost the 2020 election, looking into calls that Trump made to pressure local officials, a plan by Trump allies to create a slate of bogus electors and the harassment of local election workers.
One big question is how broad the indictments will be, according to our colleague Richard Fausset, who is based in Atlanta.
The federal Jan. 6 case, whose indictments were announced last week, was a “very narrowly focused indictment,” Richard told us.
“In Georgia, there is the possibility that this will be a multi-defendant indictment that would take in a wide rage of actors who would be accused of violating numerous state crimes in their effort to overturn the election.”
