Former President Donald Trump attacked the district attorney investigating him in Georgia, creating a false impression of her relationship with a former client and prosecution record.
rict Attorney Fani Willis, the official leading the investigation into Trump’s actions in Georgia after the 2020 election.makes multiple attacks against the"fraud squad" of prosecutors who have charged Trump from New York, Washington, D.C., and now potentially Georgia. Willis took office Jan. 1, 2021, a day before Trump’s infamous call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, during which Trump sought to"find" enough ballots to win the state.
The campaign said the ad will air in Atlanta, Washington D.C., and New York, and nationally on cable and broadcast. , saying it contained"derogatory and false information" without elaborating. A Fulton County grand jury is expected to indict Trump, and potentially Trump allies, this month for actions intended to subvert 2020 election results.
We fact-checked four of the ad’s claims about Willis that were missing context, misleading or baseless.This lacks evidence. The ad doesn’t explain the nature of the"relationship"; it’s possible a viewer would infer a romantic relationship. Trump said as much Aug. 8 in a, accusing Willis of"having an affair with the head of the gang or a gang member." There’s no proof of that.
As the narrator made the claim, the ad displays text:"Willis was a lawyer for a YSL co-founder." It cites a Rolling Stone article in January that included an interview with YSL Mondo, who co-founded the Young Stoner Life music label.
