The subsequent testimony has been salacious at times, heated at others, especially when willis herself took the stand a couple of weeks ago to call the whole investigation bs. And while the alleged conduct is dominating the headlines, it doesnt change the underlying allegations in the original case, which is that more than a dozen people including the former president , have been accused of coordinating to try and illegally overturn the results of the 2020 elections in georgia.
