Prosecutor in Trump-Georgia case says charging decisions to come in summer

Fani Willis, investigating whether Trump illegally meddled in 2020 election, urges ‘heightened security’ for when decision is made

The prosecutor in Atlanta investigating whether Donald Trump and his allies illegally meddled in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia said Monday she expects to announce charging decisions in the case this summer and urged “heightened security”.

Fulton county district attorney Fani Willis wrote in a letter to local sheriff Pat Labat that she expects to announce the decisions some time between 11 July and 1 September. She said she wanted to give Labat time to coordinate with local, state and federal agencies “to ensure that our law enforcement community is ready to protect the public”.
