Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' probe of former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results is reportedly no longer just a Peach State affair. The Washington Post reports that Willis' probe of Trump and his allies' post-election activities has expanded to include "activities in Washington, D.C., and several other states," which the Post notes is "a fresh sign that prosecutors may be building a sprawling case under Georgia’s racketeering laws." In particular, Willis' team has been investigating the fact that Trump's campaign hired two different companies to investigate voter fraud accusations and then buried their results when they came back empty handed. Given that these firms did work not only in Georgia but in other key swing states Trump lost, it's forced Willis' office to go beyond state borders for evidence. Trump was also recently found liable for sexually abusing and defaming journalist E. Jean Carroll.
