Fulton County DA Fani Willis Launches Reelection Fundraising Site Ahead of Trump Indictment
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, based in Georgia, unveiled her campaign’s reelection fundraising website in the days leading up to the announcement of a 98-page, 41-count indictment against former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants, as reported by Atlanta First News.
According to the outlet, Willis’s campaign reached out to supporters via email on Thursday, notifying them of the website’s availability.
“Friend, we wanted you to know first that our new website is up and ready for you to share with your friends and family,” the email read. “Sign up to volunteer, host an event, and continue to support the team! Thank you for your continued support to build a brighter future for Fulton County. With gratitude, Team Fani.”
This development occurred slightly over a month after the convening of the grand jury and less than two weeks after Willis mentioned in a July 29 interview with 11 Alive that a decision regarding the potential indictment of Trump was expected by September 1.
“The work is accomplished,” Willis conveyed to the outlet. “We’ve been working for two-and-a-half years. We’re ready to go.”
On Monday night, following a day of deliberation on a multifaceted issue that extends across various jurisdictions, the grand jury handed down the indictment. This event transpired after the Fulton County Court inexplicably published what seemed to be an indictment of Trump; however, the document was subsequently removed from the website.
Reuters initially reported on this digital court filing and later updated their coverage, clarifying that Willis had denied any issuance of an indictment at that time. Vivek Ramaswamy, a Republican presidential candidate who recently gained significant support in a Kaplan Strategies poll, suggested that Trump should pursue a “motion to dismiss for a constitutional due process violation.”
In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his perspective on the peculiar release and subsequent withdrawal of the document, implying a sense of bias:
“So, the Witch Hunt continues! 19 people Indicted tonight, including the former President of the United States, me, by an out-of-control and very corrupt District Attorney who campaigned and raised money on, ‘I will get Trump.’ And what about those Indictment Documents put out today, long before the Grand Jury even voted, and then quickly withdrawn? Sounds Rigged to me! Why didn’t they Indict 2.5 years ago? Because they wanted to do it right in the middle of my political campaign. Witch Hunt!”
The Trump campaign criticized Willis, labeling her as a “radical Democrat” and “rabid partisan” who is utilizing these alleged bogus indictments as a campaign and fundraising strategy to target President Donald Trump.
Notably, Willis faced controversy last year concerning her involvement with Fulton County Judge Robert McBurney, who presides over Trump’s case. Prior to sending a target letter to former State Senator Burt Jones (R-GA) regarding the 2020 election, Willis hosted a fundraiser for Jones’s Democratic opponent in the lieutenant governor’s race, Charlie Bailey. McBurney consequently ruled that this situation posed an apparent conflict and disqualified Willis from investigating Jones.
In an ad issued on August 4, the Trump campaign depicted Willis alongside other prosecutors as the “fraud squad,” insinuating that they are pursuing the political agenda of President Joe Biden.
In the event that Trump is found guilty on all counts across all criminal cases and receives the maximum sentences for each charge, he could face a combined total of 717.5 years in prison, and potentially even the death penalty.
