The indictment of former President Donald Trump for interfering in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia will be the biggest case of prosecutor Fani Willis' career, but it will not be her first contentious prosecution
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis speaks to the media after a Grand Jury brought back indictments against Former President Donald Trump and 18 of his allies in their attempt to overturn the state's 2020 election results, in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S. August 14, 2023.
“She’s not afraid of big cases,” said Gerald Griggs, a criminal defense attorney and president of the Georgia state conference of the NAACP. “She’s not afraid of going against popular opinion and public sentiment.” Trump, who has denied wrongdoing, has accused Willis of targeting him for political gain, called her a racist and criticized her handling of violent crime in Atlanta, Georgia's largest city and part of Fulton County.
The law was a central part of the prosecution in the Atlanta school cheating case and is also key to the ongoing case brought by Willis’s office against rapper Jeffery Lamar Williams, who performs as Young Thug, and 27 others linked to him who are accused of gang activity.
