No one should doubt the tenacity and courage that Fani Willis has shown in investigating defeated and now thrice-indicted former president Donald Trump and his enablers. Just as Smith indicted Trump alone, leaving other potential defendants to contemplate their fates and maybe cut deals, Willis could do the same. On the merits, she certainly could bring charges for breaches of state law, such as solicitation to commit election fraud, intentional interference with performance of election duties, interference with primaries and elections, and conspiracy to commit election fraud. Key Takeaway:Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has investigated serious charges regarding alleged voter fraud, intimidation, and other possible felonies arising from the 2020 presidential election. Pursuing a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) charge against Trump could lead to a lengthy trial and potential constitutional challenges.
