Only a few weeks after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted former President Donald Trump over alleged hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels and model Karen McDougal, Fulton County, Georgia might be ready to follow suit.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said Monday that she will announce potential criminal indictments related to alleged interference in Georgia's 2020 election between July 11 and Sept. 1, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
While she did not mention former President Donald Trump by name, legal experts believe that her letter suggests she is considering charges against Trump and his allies.
"It's hard to imagine how Willis would announce that she will be filing charges without including Donald Trump," said Norm Eisen, who previously served as ethics czar under President Barack Obama.
The investigation by the Fulton County District Attorney's Office into former President Donald Trump's conduct following the 2020 election, which began in February 2021, has grown in size and scope over the past two years.
Politically, an indictment against Trump and his allies could further intensify the already polarized political climate in the United States.
Trump has a significant base of supporters who are fiercely loyal to him, and any legal action against him could be viewed as politically motivated, leading to protests, rallies, and increased division among the American public.
