Fulton County DA Fani Willis said in a letter to local law enforcement she would announce her charging decisions during the court term that begins July 11 and ends Sept. 1. (via Deadline: Legal Blog)
could announce charges against Donald Trump and/or others in her 2020 election interference probe, according to a letter she wrote to local law enforcement on Monday. The letter warned of a need for “heightened security and preparedness” ahead of her announcement that “may provoke a significant public reaction.”
Willis didn’t give specifics of who’s getting charged or for what, but the letter provides a clearer indication, straight from the Georgia prosecutor herself, aboutshe’ll announce charges. The world has been waiting for such an indication after Willis’ statement in late January that decisions from her office were “imminent.”checked in last week
, she was still working on the so-called fake electors in the state who tried to push Trump into office despite his having lost the election. Remember, she’s trying to get a lawyer kicked off the matter who’s been representing several of the Trump fake electors, but, according to Willis, some of them have implicated another in criminal activity. Therefore, the prosecutor said, it’s a conflict for the defense lawyer to represent clients who could turn on one another.
And while her letter technically serves as notice to law enforcement to prepare for the possibility of violence when she announces charges this summer, it also serves as notice for observers who’ve been wondering what “imminent” means. So we have a better idea now of the “when,” though we don’t know the full extent of who’ll be charged or for what.
But it won’t be surprising if the former president — whose supporters could surely react violently to criminal charges against their leader — is on her list.
