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.
Since they have Trump on tape, it might not be too hard of a case to make. In one way, Trump can thank Lindsey Graham for that, because it was Graham's earlier call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger that prompted Raffensperger to start recording phone calls.
