Donald Trump has ramped up attacks against a district attorney in the US state of Georgia, where the former United States president could soon face charges linked to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Monday, accusing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis of seeking to interfere with his 2024 re-election campaign and trying to indict him on “ridiculous grounds”.
Willis has spent more than two years investigating efforts by the former president and his allies to overturn the 2020 results in Georgia, including a January 2021 call in which Trump urged the state’s top election official to “find” enough votes to deliver him a victory.
Two witnesses who previously received subpoenas confirmed at the weekend that they have been told to appear before a grand jury in Atlanta on Tuesday, the clearest indication yet that Willis will try to get a criminal indictment in the case.
Willis has already indicated she would seek charges this month, and security measures have increased around the county courthouse in recent weeks.

“No, I didn’t tamper with the election!” Trump wrote in an all-caps post on Truth Social on Monday, continuing to falsely claim that the election he lost to President Joe Biden was marred by widespread fraud.
