Georgia Investigation into Trump's Efforts to Overturn Election Expands Nationwide
- Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is investigating allegations that the Trump campaign hired two firms to find voter fraud across the United States and then buried their findings when they did not find it.
- Willis may bring racketeering charges against Trump and his allies under Georgia’s RICO statute, arguing their efforts amounted to a criminal scheme spanning multiple states.
- The investigation has broadened beyond Georgia to include activities in Washington, D.C. and several other states where Trump contested election results.
- Willis has sought information from two firms contracted by the Trump campaign to dig up evidence of voter fraud, even though they were unable to find any evidence that would have changed the outcome.
- The investigation is separate from but related to probes by the Department of Justice and House committee investigating the Capitol riot.
