Atlanta News First
11/14/24 • 8 min
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is now preparing for a second term, after an explosive first four years as the top law enforcement official in the state’s largest metro area.
But for much of it, the headlines were dominated by what Willis was doing inside the walls of Fulton County Superior Court. A blockbuster indictment — which has now become the longest criminal case in Georgia — saw handfuls of local rappers and Grammy-nominated rapper Young Thug charged in relation to gang crimes.
And even more consequential was Willis’ prosecution of former-and-now-future President Donald Trump and many of his allies in Georgia for election interference after the vote in 2020.
Atlanta News First sat down with Willis in an exclusive interview following her election victory.
