Donald Trump could be charged soon in Georgia: What is the investigation all about?

Firstpost  

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis began investigating Donald Trump more than two years ago, shortly after a recording was released of a January 2021 phone call that the former president made to Georgia’s secretary of state In a hint at a looming indictment, the Georgia District Attorney says that the 2020 election probe involving former US president Donald Trump is ‘ready to go.’ On Monday, Donald Trump failed in his final attempt to overturn a Georgia special grand jury report and disqualify the Atlanta district attorney who is determining whether to charge him with tampering with the state’s 2020 election. With this, a Georgia prosecutor is expected to seek a grand jury indictment in her probe of Donald Trump and his Republican allies’ efforts to overturn the then-president’s 2020 election loss in the coming weeks. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis began investigating more than two years ago, shortly after a recording was released of a January 2021 phone call Trump made to Georgia’s secretary of state. “Because we won the state.” Trump has insisted he did nothing wrong and has repeatedly said the call was “perfect.” Trump also called other top state officials in his quest to overturn his 2020 election loss, including Governor Brian Kemp, then-House Speaker David Ralston, Attorney General Chris Carr and the top investigator in the secretary of state’s office.
