- Georgia’s Fulton County district attorney, Fani Willis, said Monday in a letter to local law enforcement she’d announce her charging decisions during the state Superior Court’s term that begins July 11 and ends Sept. 1.
- The probe centers on possible interference in the 2020 election by former President Donald Trump.
- Willis said in January that an announcement on indictments was “imminent.”
- In the letter Monday to Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat, Willis she urged him to prepare of backlash over her decision, saying: “Open-source intelligence has indicated the announcement of decisions in this case may provoke significant public reaction. … We have seen in recent years that some may go outside of public expressions of opinion that are protected by the First Amendment to engage in acts of violence that will endanger the safety of our community. As leaders, it is incumbent on us to prepare.”
