NEW YORK, NEW YORK - APRIL 04: Former U.S. President Donald Trump sits at the defense table with his defense team in a Manhattan court during his arraignment on April 4, 2023, in New York City. Trump was arraigned during his first court appearance today following an indictment by a grand jury that heard evidence about money paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election. With the indictment, Trump becomes the first former U.S. president in history to be charged with a criminal offense. (Photo by Seth Wenig-Pool/Getty Images)
The prosecutors participating in the 2020 Fulton County, Georgia, election fraud case indicated that they are searching for ways to sentence Donald Trump and the other co-defendants in the case to prison.
One email, in a batch newly released under Georgia’s public records law, contains an exchange between the former president’s defense lawyers and prosecutors showing that District Attorney of Fulton County Fani Willis suggested that the attorneys had a lengthy road ahead of them.
Willis said, “Long after these folks are in jail, we will still be practicing law.”
Another exchange between the defense lawyers and Willis showed Trump attorney Steve Sadow sharing that he was upset about an unfinished Rudy Giuliani transcript.
The attorney had a problem with the language utilized by the defense and stated that Trump’s team would be given the entire transcript in the next production of discovery.
“No one placed me here, and I have earned this title,” she stated in response. “I’ve never practiced law by hiding the ball, I’ve enjoyed beating folks by making sure they have the entire file.”
The district attorney confirmed that she expects the trial for this case to start before the 2024 election and keep going into 2025.
She has also managed to reach plea deals with Trump attorneys Jenna Ellis, Sydney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, as well as bail bondsman Scott Hall.
There has also been recent news that Mike Pence might become a key witness as one of the few Republican allies of Trump to attempt to stop Trump’s scheme in Georgia.
