Ga. County DA Willis Seeks to Reinstate Trump Charges

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has requested Georgia’s Court of Appeals to reinstate six charges in the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump and five of his co-defendants.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Willis’ office filed a brief on Tuesday asking the appellate court to reverse a March ruling by Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee. The judge had determined that the state failed to provide the defendants with sufficient detail regarding the charges, hindering their ability to prepare an adequate defense.

The election-interference indictment, filed in August 2023, “more than sufficiently placed (Trump and his five co-defendants) on notice of the conduct at issue and allowed them to prepare an intelligent defense to the charges,” the brief from Willis’ office argued. “The indictment included an abundance of context and factual allegations about the solicitations at issue, including when the requests were made, to whom the requests were made and the manner in which the requests were made.”
