Georgia set to take over the Trump indictment spotlight

All eyes are on Georgia this week, where yet another indictment of former President Trump is expected imminently.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) has been probing Trump’s efforts to interfere in the state’s closely fought 2020 election for more than a year and is widely expected this month to bring the fourth indictment of 2023 against the former president.
“The work is accomplished,” Willis recently told local news outlets in Atlanta. “We’ve been working for two-and-a-half years. We’re ready to go.”
Willis previously advised courthouse security officials that she could bring charges in the case in the second or third week of August.
Any charges brought by Willis would be the second case Trump faces related to the 2020 election, after he received a federal indictment last week. In that case, he was charged with four counts for his role in trying to block the transfer of power.
Any charges brought by Willis would come after a federal indictment last week that was also connected to the 2020 election. In that case, the former president was charged with four counts for his role in trying to block the transfer of power.
It’s not clear that Trump will face charges in the Georgia probe, though he has launched three separate suits seeking to quash Willis’s investigation.
