Fani Willis Warns Fulton County Commissioners to “Stay Alert” as Charging Decisions in Election Investigation Expected by September 1

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has reemphasized her plans to announce charging decisions by September 1 in her investigation into efforts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election results in the state. In a letter to the chief judge of the Fulton County courthouse in May, Willis signaled that charging decisions could come soon.

Willis told an NBC affiliate during a back-to-school event last weekend that the work is accomplished. She also warned Fulton County commissioners this weekend that they should “stay alert” over the next month, according to emails obtained by CBS News.

The email Willis received last week had a subject line reading, “Fani Willis = Corrupt N*.” She said she expects more over the next month. Willis said the message was “pretty typical” of what her office has been receiving and said she is aware of “equally ignorant voicemails” that have come into the county office and to her own office.

The investigation into possible criminal interference in the administration of Georgia’s 2020 general election is ongoing. Willis has not yet made any charging decisions, but is expected to do so by September 1. Willis has not commented on the specifics of the investigation, but has said that her office is committed to ensuring that justice is served.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution first reported Wills’ warning to the county commissioners. The investigation is ongoing and Willis is expected to announce her charging decisions by September 1.
