Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has requested the state’s Court of Appeals to reinstate six counts in the election subversion case against Donald Trump and his co-defendants, including three specifically against the former president. This move has once again brought the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election and the attempts to overturn the election results back into the public eye as early voting commences in Georgia for the 2024 election.
In a recent court filing, Judge Scott McAfee had ruled that six charges in the 41-count indictment, related to Trump and some co-defendants allegedly soliciting the violation of oath by a public officer, lacked sufficient detail about the underlying crime being solicited. These counts pertain to the alleged efforts of Trump and his co-defendants to have state officials appoint a fake slate of electors for Georgia following Trump's defeat in the 2020 election.
