Donald Trump Georgia Election Probe: DA Fani Willis Says Indictments Likely To Come in August

The Donald Trump Georgia election probe is certainly moving forward in its investigation of the former president's attempts to meddle in the elections. This time, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has teased when exactly will we expect some indictments.

Willis is looking into not just Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the state, such as calling Georgia officials to force them to change the results, but also his scheme of having fake electors vote for him instead of Joe Biden, in a state which Biden actually won in.

In a letter to Fulton County Superior Court Chief Judge Ural Glanville, Willis indicated that she is planning to have much of her staff work remotely for several days in the first three weeks of August and asked the judge not to schedule trials and in-person hearings during that time. The letter was also sent to 20 other county officials, including the sheriff, the court clerk, and other leaders.

This comes after she wrote to law enforcement leaders last month that she intended to announce charging decisions in the case between July 11 and September 1. The Associated Press pointed out that her letter to the judge has now narrowed down that window.

In her April letter to law enforcement, she advised them to prepare for "heightened security" and noted that when she announces the charges, it "may provoke a significant public reaction."

Poll Says Majority of Americans Support Donald Trump Indictment in Georgia

If Donald Trump is indicted, this would only be the second time a former US president has been indicted on a criminal charge. The first time happened earlier this year, with Donald Trump being indicted in Manhattan over his hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.

It seems that Americans are very much in favor of Trump getting indicted, as a new survey from WPA Intelligence shows.

According to the New York Post, 59% said they believe Trump should be criminally charged in Georgia while only 41% said they do not think he should be charged. Meanwhile, 59% also believe that Trump should also face charges in Special Counsel Jack Smith's probe into his classified documents case.

As for the elections, should Trump be charged in Georgia, 49% said they will be voting for Biden while 39% said they will vote for Trump. Should Trump be charged for the classified documents probe, 50% said they would vote for Biden while only 39% said they will vote for Trump.

Trump Georgia Elections Probe Could Empower Arizona Elections Probe Against Fake Trump Electors

Meanwhile, over in Arizona, the elections probe in Georgia could also have even more consequences for the former president in that state.

Much like in Georgia, Arizona is also investigating pro-Donald Trump Republicans who also attempted to use fake electors in their election. USA Today pointed out that Arizona could copy what Georgia is doing and also charge those fake Trump electors in their state with racketeering and conspiracy.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has already indicated that she will be reaching out to federal officials in the matter of the fake electors.

Trump's fake electors scheme was in effect in several key swing states, as the MAGA Republicans in those states have prepared a slate of fake electors to vote for Trump instead of the rightful winner, Joe Biden. However, these schemes were all thwarted.
