Atlanta Prosecutor Appears to Move Closer to Trump Inquiry

Woot!

The Fulton County district attorney is weighing an inquiry into possible election interference and is said to be considering hiring an outside counsel.

ATLANTA — Prosecutors in Georgia appear increasingly likely to open a criminal investigation of President Trump over his attempts to overturn the results of the state’s 2020 election, an inquiry into offenses that would be beyond his federal pardon power.

The new Fulton County district attorney, Fani Willis, is already weighing whether to proceed, and among the options she is considering is the hiring of a special assistant from outside to oversee the investigation, according to people familiar with her office’s deliberations.
