A criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia is set to intensify this week, as a grand jury convenes, offering the local district attorney her first shot at seeking subpoenas for records and interviews.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis made her investigative intentions clear with a round of letters to Georgia state officials in February, asking them to preserve documents relevant to election interference as she investigated potential state crimes including the solicitation of election fraud, conspiracy, and racketeering.
According to the letters, none of the Georgia officials are targets of the investigation.
"What I was doing, as a courtesy to people that I respect very much, is simply putting them on notice that when a grand jury convened, which would be in March, that they could expect to receive subpoenas," Willis told MSNBC in February.
Two grand juries are set to convene in Fulton County on Thursday, opening a path for Willis' next phase in her probe. A person familiar with the investigation said they are likely to rely heavily on subpoenas rather than voluntary requests for records and interviews, in part to establish a clear court record of their pursuit of evidence.
In the meantime, some officials in Georgia have already hired personal attorneys amid the fallout from Trump's efforts to upend the election results.
While Willis' investigation launched from the now-infamous call in which Trump pushed Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" him enough votes to win the state, it's expected to stretch well beyond that single call.
"There may be nothing there," said a person familiar with the investigation, "or it may be more extensive that we thought."

Trump election fraud investigation heads to grand jury in Georgia
You know it occurs to me the best way to hurt rich people is to turn them into poor people.
Yep. I also remember ‘Trading Places.’ I have to watch that movie periodically. Brilliant.
@lesmo whomever Can He bounce back though? A lot of Trump brands ties has been cut.
@lesmo whomever Economical wise Trump brand needs to earn Profits to stay high. Without it, how will this work?
I was referencing a investigating book about exponential growth of all things in our experience will have one aspect that will reach a lethal point and create a global meltdown. It is a fact not hyperboly@lesmo whomever
Trump and his “perfect” phone calls. Lol
@lifecloud2 💯🎯 hes been wanna be mobster. They are his role model.
@Barn 7 I hear you.
They were perfect because those phone calls personally benefited him.
@Dr Deliz Or so he thought …
Imagine what his less then perfect phone calls must have been like.
🤞🏾Lindsey Graham going down for this would be such sweet justice
We’re not sure when and how Lindsey Graham goes down.
You mean lady linsey
Let’s not forget what Graham said. Trump allowed him to be in his life. I’m wondering did Lindsey have to beg?
@Barnabas Collins in the same way that Charles Manson allowed people to join his family.
@Ian B have you seen the side by side gif of tRump & Manson? It’s eerily uncanny
Charge him already, what’s taking so long and why hasn’t Dominion sued Trump???
@Binary Recoil 🤣🤣🤣 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@Jerry Zogler You are not smart. The Dr. Seuss books were taken out due to lack of sales(remember capitalism?). In fact, the only Dr. Seuss censorship came from Republicans in some school districts eliminating the Lorax from school libraries.
@Binary Recoil Is that what passes as humor amongst the 76 IQ people? 76 is the average IQ of the average Trump supporter by the way.
@Rian Draegon Stop correcting him. Don’t you know that rightwing nutjobs have “alternative facts”?
Well, they got Capone on tax evasion…
@Habibah Ahmad Trump is not as smart as Capone or as honest
@Randy Merlo 😂😂😂😂😂😂 i like that one…
YouTubers should start a channel that tracks police officers using their badges to take their car back from the repoman.
Every year do a 365 count down like work place injuries and see which city wins… The po po gangsta these days. They stealing from banks…google it
Let’s hope & 🙏 they’ll get this capone 🤡💩🐍🐖 joy to the world 🥂🥂🎉🎈
@Marie Shepp please don’t compare Trump to Capone Capone was a better man
INVESTIGATION NEED TO BE BROUGHT UP ON LINDSEY GRAHAM,HE CALL GEORGIA TOO. NO EXCEPTIONS
@MeMyself B-rye More lies. Just how did Biden bribe and entire state? Which state and how much did he pay them? Where is you proof? You are just like a rectum. Spewing filth!!!
@MeMyself B-rye DON’T FEEL NOTHING FOR TRUMP OR HIS TRUMPET WE SPEAKING ON THE UNITED STATES? TRUMP IS NOT IMPORTANT 👿 NOT NOE NOT EVER?? AND HE’S A LIER😂😅😁
Yup, Graham was definitely one of Trump’s Treason Commandos.
@B Chosen 1 Yeah, because there’s so much PROOF. Oh wait, there’s no proof Biden stole the election. In fact the lying, unprincipled hag lawyer (Sidney Powell) unveiled her defense in court against slander charges by Dominion: NOBODY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD BELIEVE ME. It’s called the “Carlson/Fox” defense from when Tucker Carlson won a case where he maintained he had the right to lie on the air. And you gullibles still believe all the lies, even after Trump has lied to you over 30,000 times (documented by the Washington Post). How dumb do you have to be to keep believing a lying conman AND TRAITOR??
Yes,you lost the presidency and you helped lose the 2 Georgia Senate Seats
All because of fraud! Stopping the count in the middle of the night is a 3rd world election tactic. Wake up sleeping Americans!
It’s literally on tape. What more do you need?
@Justin Webb yeah Biden is more popular than Obama. Millions more votes than him. The world believes it, for sure.
Two months in the WH and your senile leader didn’t even held a press conference, and is on its way to beat Gerald Ford’s stairs fails.
What China officials dare to do a few days ago in Anchorage is unprecedented.
You have a weak, deeply corrupt, senile man running your country now. You can be proud of your vote Justin.
@Justin Webb
I wrote already here that I never bought the Qanon BS.
Search, you will find. Won’t do your homework.
@Kennedy Dry Then cite your proof. But you won’t, because you haven’t any.
@Kennedy Dry I hope You’re ready for a repeat in 2022 and 2024. Frankly, for the next few decades.
Over 7 million MORE votes, you will not, within the next few decades, come anywhere close to that. I anticipate our Overwhelming Majority will near 10 million more in the next couple of years. Just watch.
@Justin Webb We’ll see.
I wish you the best.
DJT has at least 8 ongoing investigations, ONE needs to pan out a conviction.
@becvdk Unfortunately I have to agree …I have watched American politics for to long and watched the Republican Party and Right even closer at their petty greedy politics. They will all protect trump with every possible sleazy dishonest trick in the book, the bottom line for the Republican Party is Self enrichment, they will destroy Democracy in the US altogether before they give up their stealing. I guarantee nothing will happen to trump at all.
So, as far as I’m concerned if all they can do is annoy him and stress him out for the rest of his life then so be it.
@Chris Colantropo They could not charge famous gangster Al Capone with anything, until he went to jail on tax evasion. Hasn’t Trump learned anything?
@Ed Kelly at least you are being honest,knowing that nothing will happen criminally against him. He is not going to jail. But the rest of what you said is so typical of the left. Everything you are accusing the right of is exactly what the left is guilty of. I am in no way giving a pass to the Republicans, they are just as corrupt on the whole. But to act like it’s the right that will sit there and protect their own, ignoring the fact that the Democrats are the worst at this is ridiculous. The dems go along with everything regardless of the damage it will have on the country. How you cant see that it’s the Democrats and their policies that are literally destroying the country is pathetic. The Republicans arent looking to make insane radical changes like the left is. I mean standards and policies that have worked and been normal for all of eternity are now being ignored and overturned all in the name of bullshit political correctness and woke bullshit. Give me a break
@Chris Colantropo Oh Chris…Sidney Powell just came out and defended herself against the Dominion Lawsuit by saying no reasonable person would take her voter fraud allegation serious. You poor poor being. That must hurt.
18 calls? Damn! That’s stalker status…
@Harold Holt you are a troll. Your you tube account started on March 21, 2021
Nice name.
@Harold Holt Sly as a FOX and Trump fried your few brain cells. You got it bad.
And probably Greenland and Denmark(the fear of him trying to run our Country. ) That would be like Crimes against Humanity! …
@William Ziehlmop
Georgia’s on our mind, even in the Netherlands.
@lynda medley you’re welcome!
The whole day through?
@Basil Marasco All day and all night long. Greetings!
@Hans van Dijk Greets from Western New York State (near the Canadian border)!
@Basil Marasco Ah! I’ve been there in 2001, together with my wife. We made a tour, starting in Toronto. We crossed Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and (the state of) New York. We saw Syracuse, Buffalo and the falls. Greatest holiday of our lives. Great countries, Canada and the US! You deserve decent leaders. Greetings!
Lindsey Graham: That wasn’t my intent.
Translation: That was absolutely my intent.
That just means you need to resign since you are committing crimes without intending to. The outcome is the same. Every criminal claims they didn’t intend to commit the crimes they committed. No excuse, Lindsey. If anything it means you are not fit for office.
He is a crook and needs to be forced to resign from the Senate.
He looked pretty flushed and nervous to me, justice is coming ms lindsey…..
Lindsay complicit probably rigged his own election in Carolina
Yeah ole Lindsey learned how to be two faced from the best, DjT.
Lindsey Graham stay looking like he ready to snitch 🤣
He’s going to yell and cry.
“He was in a bind, he was running behind, so he thoight he’d make a DEAL.”
The devils in the house with the rising sun…
Wrong, he knew he was AHEAD by millions, and than OOPS, There was a water break, er, no it was a rumor…but the vote lead. of course disappeared
Now….hes got the runs from the behind….
He was never behind, but Dems stole the election!
Some of u out of TOUCH WITH REALITY, r delusional.
When they start talking about prison time they all flip
Sure is entertaining. I keep running out of popcorn though.
“I just need to find….”, just like he found everything else. Second hand pig.
Don’t do that to pig 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love pork chops NOT that “ secondhand pig 🐖.
And bacon. Dont forget the bacon
Just like BIDEN finding 80 million “votes” at 3:00 am. Wake up.
@keith morrison: countless recounts ,the vindictive fake hair joker still crying 😢 .
Yes you did lose Georgia because people VOTED for Biden.!
“There’s no way we lost Georgia”
WAY
I’ll bet that Trump doesn’t even know the capital of Georgia. I’ll bet he couldn’t name five cities in Georgia.
Crazy old man demands to win after offending Puerto Ricans, calling the veterans suckers and losers, calling the FNL players SOB, assaulting women, making racial slurs, insulting John Mccain, and tried to build the fence in Colorado instead….etc
Lindsey is laying the groundwork for his defense when using the word ‘intent’, and he knows it.
