Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is preparing for the case against former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants. Despite facing attempts to remove her from the case due to a romantic relationship with her lead prosecutor, Willis insists that the case is progressing as needed. She affirms that the legal team is focused on their work and will not be slowed down by distractions or attempts to derail the case.

Trump and his co-defendants have raised concerns about the conflict of interest arising from Willis’ relationship with the lead prosecutor. The case is facing legal hurdles as the decision to allow Willis to continue prosecuting is being appealed. The Georgia Court of Appeals will review the decision, and Trump and his co-defendants argue for disqualification. Willis has expressed her intention to move to trial before the November election, although a specific trial date has not been set.

Willis acknowledges that the case may need to go through the necessary steps and processes before a trial can take place. She is respectful of other jurisdictions and understands that some of the defendants have multiple cases ahead of hers. Despite receiving negative attention over her relationship with the lead prosecutor, Willis says she feels supported by the community, particularly women. She is focused on the facts, charges, and laws of the case, aiming to leave behind any unnecessary drama.

Four people have pleaded guilty in the case so far. Willis remains open to considering plea deals with Trump or any remaining co-defendants if they express interest in resolving the case. Following the lead prosecutor’s resignation, Willis will now take the lead in any potential plea deal negotiations. She emphasizes her dedication to serving the community and vows to fulfill her duties honorably as the District Attorney, recognizing that her role belongs to the people she serves.

In a community event at Laster Chapel United Methodist Church, Willis interacted with residents, distributing Easter baskets to children and taking photos with parents. She emphasizes her hard-working nature and love for the community she serves, highlighting her commitment to carrying out her job with integrity. Despite facing challenges and negative attention, Willis remains focused on her responsibilities and aims to uphold the trust placed in her by the people of Fulton County as she continues with the case against Trump and his co-defendants.
