TL;DR Summary

The investigation into alleged election interference by former President Donald Trump and his allies in Georgia has expanded to include activities in other states, according to sources familiar with the probe. Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis is reportedly seeking information related to the Trump campaign hiring two firms to find voter fraud across the United States and then burying their findings when they did not find it. Willis has signaled that she may use Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statute to allege that these efforts amounted to a far-reaching criminal scheme. The state’s RICO statute is among the most expansive in the nation, allowing prosecutors to build racketeering cases around violations of both state and federal laws — and even activities in other states.
