Former President Donald Trump said Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is focusing on alleged 2020 election interference instead of what he described as a surging homicide rate in Atlanta.
There have been reports indicating that Ms. Willis’s office may charge the former president and his allies regarding alleged attempts to overturn the state’s election results in 2020 this week. Her office has not made any public announcements about the case.
“Why is ‘Phoney’ (Like in PERFECT ‘PHONE’ CALL, get it?) Fani Willis, the severely underperforming D.A. of Fulton County who is being accused of having an ‘affair’ with a Gang Member of a group that she is prosecuting, leaking my name in regard to a Grand Jury pertaining to Election Fraud & Irregularities that I say took place in Georgia,” President Trump wrote on Sunday morning.
Her office, he wrote, “should instead focus on the record number of murders in Atlanta!”
Anonymously sourced reports on Sunday claim that Ms. Willis’s evidence includes alleged text messages and emails that connected President Trump’s legal team to a 2021 voting system breach in Coffee County.
It was announced Saturday that the former Lt. governor of Georgia, Geoff Duncan, was subpoenaed to testify before the Fulton County grand jury. “I can confirm that I have been requested to testify before the Fulton County grand jury on Tuesday. I look forward to answering their questions around the 2020 election,” he wrote in a social media post. “Republicans should never let honesty be mistaken for weakness,” he added.
Mr. Duncan, a critic of the former president, didn’t respond to a request for more details from The Epoch Times when asked on Sunday.
Georgia journalist George Chidi also wrote on social media that he was asked to testify on Tuesday.
Although Ms. Willis has been working on her case against President Trump for several years, it’s still not clear when charges will be brought. The district attorney told a local news outlet in July that she would make “big decisions” about the election probe before September.
