Willis: Trump's Georgia case should not pause for the election

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is prosecuting Donald Trump and others over efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia, dismisses the idea that the case should be paused just because Trump is running for office, stating that if someone violates the law, charges must be brought forth. Willis seeks an August trial date for Trump and his co-defendants, despite concerns about trying too many people at once. She also suggests that more co-defendants may take plea deals. Willis declines to comment on whether Trump will spend time behind bars but notes that the indictment includes serious charges with significant prison time. The case has significant overlap with the federal charges filed against Trump in Washington. Willis denies any political motivation and criticizes attempts to target her through legislation and blame her for overcrowding at the Fulton County Jail.
