The investigation into alleged efforts by Trump to pressure Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to overturn the election results, as well as a plan to use an alternative slate of electors, has been ongoing since 2021.
The DA is also looking to seek indictments against at least 12 other people, alleging that Trump and allies “coordinated attempts to unlawfully alter the outcome of the 2020 elections” in Georgia.
Willis has already subpoenaed former Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, former Georgia Democratic state Sen. Jen Jordan and independent journalist George Chidi as witnesses in the case.
