Episode notes

Bonnie Willis was elected by voters in Fulton County and not a political appointee. She doesn't have the same baggage as Attorney General Merrick Garland, who will ultimately be the one to decide whether to prosecute Trump under federal law. What was done in Georgia plays a central role in the 2020 election denial and lead up to January 6th. It's the most tangible way Donald Trump could be held accountable for everything that was done.

Prosecutor Fani Willis and a special grand jury have some questions for the man with the yellow hair. Georgia Public Broadcasting’s Stephen Fowler explains Fulton County’s election interference investigation that appears to be closing in on former President Trump and his allies.

This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Victoria Chamberlin, Miles Bryan, Amanda Lewellyn, and Victoria Dominguez, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Noel King.
