Fani T. Willis, the Atlanta-area district attorney, has been leading a wide-ranging criminal investigation into the efforts of Mr. Trump and his allies to overturn his 2020 election loss in Georgia.
Mr. Trump and his associates had numerous interactions with Georgia officials after the election, including a phone call in which Mr. Trump urged the secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, to “find 11,780 votes.” Ms. Willis has also homed in on a plot by Trump allies to send fake Georgia electors to Washington and on misstatements about the election results made before the state legislature by Rudolph W. Giuliani, who spearheaded efforts to keep Mr. Trump in power as his personal lawyer.
The inquiry appears to be targeting multiple defendants with charges of conspiracy to commit election fraud or racketeering-related charges for engaging in a coordinated scheme to undermine the election.
