Georgia prosecutor ‘likely’ to present Trump case to grand jury next week: reports

The Georgia prosecutor investigating former President Trump for 2020 election fraud claims is expected to go before a grand jury next week, according to multiple media reports.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) has investigated Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia for two years and previously signaled that the probe will wrap up this month.

ABC News, CNN and The Guardian, all citing sources familiar with the matter, report Willis is likely to make her case to the grand jury next week.

Willis last month empaneled a pair of grand juries, one of which will decide on whether there is enough evidence and cause to charge Trump with a crime. Willis is expected to take two days to present the case.

The probe stems from a phone call Trump made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in the wake of his 2020 election loss in Georgia, where the then-president asked Raffensperger to “find” enough votes to change the outcome.

Willis has also investigated Georgia’s role in the Trump campaign’s fake elector scheme, which is now the center of Trump’s federal 2020 election case. At least eight of those fake electors have taken immunity deals with Willis’s office.

Prosecutors have already subpoenaed multiple politicians for the grand jury, including former Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, as well as a state lawmaker and an independent journalist.

Willis is reportedly considering racketeering charges against the former president, a sprawling charge usually reserved for combating organized crime and other complex schemes, in addition to violations of state election law.

She is expected to seek more than a dozen indictments, according to CNN.

If a grand jury agrees to indict Trump, it will be his fourth criminal case this year. 

In addition to the existing election fraud federal case, he faces another federal indictment alleging he mishandled classified documents and a New York state case related to alleged hush money payments.
