Meet Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis. The newly elected prosecutor announced her office was opening up a criminal investigation into Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of Georgia 2020 presidential election.
Playing a large role in the investigation is the leaked phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. You’ll recall two now-former Biglaw attorneys were also on the call, Cleta Mitchell and Alex Kaufman. Appearing on the Rachel Maddow show last night, Willis noted that Trump’s request on the call for a very specific number of additional ballots to be found could go a long way to establishing mens rea.
