    Atlanta-area prosecutor expected to seek more than a dozen indictments in   
   Trump case   
   Sara Murray Zachary Cohen   
   By Sara Murray, Jason Morris and Zachary Cohen, CNN   
   Updated 2:27 PM EDT, Wed August 9, 2023   
      
      
   Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is expected to seek more than   
   a dozen indictments when she presents her case regarding efforts by Donald   
   Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in   
   Georgia before a grand jury next week, sources familiar with the matter   
   told CNN.   
      
   Willis, a Democrat, has been eyeing conspiracy and racketeering charges,   
   which would allow her to bring a case against multiple defendants. Her   
   wide-ranging criminal probe focuses on efforts to pressure election   
   officials, the plot to put forward fake electors and a voting systems   
   breach in rural Coffee County, Georgia.   
      
   Trump acolytes who took part in each of those schemes believe they will   
   face charges in Georgia next week, people familiar with their thinking   
   said. Trump also believes he will be charged in the case, CNN has   
   reported.   
      
   Willis’ office declined to comment.   
      
   The witnesses Willis has subpoenaed when she presents her case include   
   former Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, former Georgia Democratic state   
   Sen. Jen Jordan and independent journalist George Chidi. All of them   
   previously testified before a special purpose grand jury that was tasked   
   with investigating the Trump case and heard from more than 75 witnesses.   
   Will Trump and his allies face charges in Georgia? 01:07 - Source: CNN   
      
   Willis launched her investigation into Trump in early 2021, soon after he   
   called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and pressured the   
   Republican to “find” the votes necessary for Trump to win the state.   
      
   At a campaign event Tuesday, Trump continued to insist it was a “perfect   
   phone call.” Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Sidney Powell and Jeffrey Clark.   
      
   Who are the Trump co-conspirators in the 2020 election interference   
   indictment?   
      
   Willis has been reportedly weighing racketeering charges in the Trump   
   case. RICO is a statute the district attorney has spoken fondly of and   
   used in unorthodox ways to bring charges against teachers as well as   
   musicians in the Atlanta area.   
      
   Willis’ team has forged ahead with plans to make charging announcements in   
   the coming weeks, even as special counsel Jack Smith charged Trump with   
   four federal counts related to his efforts to stay in power after losing   
   the 2020 presidential election.   
      
   A large chunk of the conduct in the indictment was related to efforts to   
   flip the election results in Georgia. Trump has pleaded not guilty in that   
   case.   
      
   The former president’s legal team believes he is likely to face his fourth   
   indictment in the coming days, people familiar with the matter told CNN.   
      
   At a campaign stop in New Hampshire on Tuesday, Trump complained about the   
   cases stacking up against him, adding, “I probably have another one.”
