“ **In the near future, I will announce charging decisions resulting from the investigation my office has been conducting into possible criminal interference in the administration of Georgia’s 2020 General Election**,” Fani Willis, District Attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, wrote in a letter addressed to Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat on Monday. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution first reported (https://www.ajc.com/politics/trump-probe-da-urges-law-enforcement-to-prep-for-indictments-this-summer/56OGCLMNOVGPXMJ6YXDPXQOSWY/) the letter.
Willis wrote she would announce the charging decisions between July 11 and Sept. 1.

Willis’s Monday announcement was the latest update in the special-purpose grand jury investigation she launched in 2021 and led thereafter.
While the grand jury proceedings had occurred behind closed doors, the probe is believed (https://www.theepochtimes.com/with-untested-cases-challenging-trump-legal-experts-weigh-in-on-his-greatest-vulnerabilities_5155299.html) to center on a 2020 phone call between Trump, Trump’s legal team, and Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his team.
“All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state,” Trump allegedly told Raffensperger during the phone call on Jan. 2, 2021, a transcript of which was released by media organizations.
Willis characterized Trump’s wording (pdf (https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/fulton-county-special-grand-jury-subpoeanas.pdf)) during the call as evidence of “criminal disruption” of the 2020 election, and has (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/20476518-fulton-da-letter-to-gov-kemp) based her case on charges around that allegation. The grand jury heard testimony from Trump’s former associates, including Rudy Giuliani (https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/17/politics/rudy-giuliani-grand-jury-georgia/index.html) and former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn (https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-georgia-atlanta-michael-flynn-united-states-government-b70496141955732d4509949d4eee8c62). Trump has denied all allegations of wrongdoing on his part.
**The grand jury was discharged in January. In early February, the Fulton County Superior Court released a portion of the jury panel’s report**, which did not include the list of names to whom indictments were recommended. Emily Kohrs, the grand jury’s foreperson, told media outlets in February that the group recommended indictments.
“The long awaited important sections of the Georgia report, which do not even mention President Trump’s name, have nothing to do with the President because President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong,” Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told CNN (https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-georgia-report-release-02-16-23/h_91dcde5adc58e1ba8d901d2738127f45) in a following statement in February.
“The President participated in two perfect phone calls regarding election integrity in Georgia, which he is entitled to do—in fact, as President, it was President Trump’s Constitutional duty to ensure election safety, security, and integrity,” Cheung added.
A Feb. 10, 2021, letter (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/20476518-fulton-da-letter-to-gov-kemp) that Willis sent to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp gave hints of potential charges she may pursue, including soliciting election fraud, lying to state officials, and conspiring to interfere with the 2020 election.
