Donald Trump's attorneys are attempting a last-minute push to block an Atlanta-area investigation into whether the former President and his allies broke the law when they sought to overturn Trump's 2020 election loss to Joe Biden. And now we know why. Fulton county district attorney Fani Willis has developed evidence to charge the twice-indicted former President with a sprawling racketeering indictment next month. The Guardian reports: In the Trump investigation, the Fulton County district attorney, Fani Willis, has evidence to pursue a racketeering indictment predicated on statutes related to influencing witnesses and computer trespass, the people said. Willis had previously said she was weighing racketeering charges in her criminal investigation, but the new details about the direction and scope of the case come as prosecutors are expected to seek indictments starting in the first two weeks of August. It sure sounds like Trump has a pattern with this sort of behavior. The racketeering statute in Georgia requires prosecutors to show the existence of an "enterprise" – and a pattern of racketeering activity that is predicated on at least two "qualifying" crimes. As for evidence, it's on audio.
