Fani Willis, the Fulton County District Attorney, is determined to proceed with her goal of putting Donald Trump on trial before the November election. Despite facing challenges, including recent personal and political setbacks, Willis intends to request a trial date as early as this summer.
Following a two-month period that revealed personal details impacting her credibility, Willis narrowly avoided disqualification due to her relationship with lead prosecutor Nathan Wade. However, Judge Scott McAfee granted Trump and his co-defendants the opportunity to seek an appeal, keeping the threat of disqualification looming over Willis.
