Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has asked the state’s Court of Appeals to reinstate six counts in the election subversion case against Donald Trump and his co-defendants, including three specifically against the former president.
The court filing brings the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, and the effort to overturn Trump’s election defeat, back into the spotlight as early voting begins in Georgia in the 2024 election. In March, Judge Scott McAfee ruled that six charges in the 41-count indictment related to Trump and some co-defendants over the alleged solicitation of the violation of oath by a public officer lacked the required detail about what underlying crime the defendants were soliciting.
“They do not give the Defendants enough information to prepare their defenses intelligently, as the Defendants could have violated the Constitutions and thus the statute in dozens, if not hundreds, of distinct ways.” Despite throwing out the charges, McAfee said the alleged conduct that was the foundation of that charge could still be used by prosecutors as part of the Georgia racketeering case.
