At least at this phase of the case, meaning the investigative phase, which is everything we ve been doing up to the special purpose grand jury. they re now in place, and they each have their roles and they re doing their work, and they re clear on what my directives are. that was fulton county d.a. fani willis in a brand-new interview with the atlanta journal constitution announcing or at least making public that her investigation into the disgraced ex-president s attempts to overturn the election result in georgia has entered a new phase. prosecutors have now turned their attention to the recently approved special purpose grand jury to look solely into trump, one that can authorize subpoenas to compel testimony from many hesitant witnesses, while the special grand jury cannot indict anyone, they will issue a report, including possible charges that prosecutors can pursue, then, with a normal grand jury. selection for the jury will begin on may 2nd. willis, a veteran prosecutor, say ....
