EXCLUSIVE | Fulton DA Fani Willis indicates she’ll push ahead with Georgia case against President-elect Donald Trump
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.

Atlanta Dream hires new head coach Karl Smesko
The Atlanta Dream named their new head coach on Wednesday — and he is one of college basketball’s winningest coaches.
Florida Gulf Coast University’s (FGCU) Karl Smesko will lead the Dream in what they hope will be a “new” and “dynamic” style of play.
Smesko has the third-highest winning percentage (.843) among active coaches in NCAA Division I women’s basketball history. He brings more than two decades of head coaching experience to the Dream.
The Dream fired Tanisha Wright last month. She was 48-68 in three seasons. The team was eliminated from the first round of the WNBA playoffs in back-to-back seasons.
