country s rejection of donald trump in the 2020 election and became a critical battleground in the campaign by trump and his allies to overturn his defeat. a letter today from fulton county d.a. connie willis to judges and her fellow county officials saying in essence, clear your calendars. the new york times reports this, the georgia prosecutor leading an investigation into the former president and his allies has taken the unusual step of announcing remote workdays for most of her staff during the first three weeks of august. asking judges in the downtown atlanta courthouse not to schedule trials for part of that time, as she prepares to bring charges in the inquiry. the move suggests that the fulton county d.a. is expecting a grand jury to unseal indictments during that time period. thanks to court filings and reporting, we know that willis has cast a very wide net, with everyone from state gop officials to the ex-president himself, under scrutiny right now. the new york
lackey, a loyalist and a true believer, but no one can deny his ongoing seven tralt to donald trump s conduct after today we can likely also describe him as a key witness into the multiple criminal investigations threatening donald j. trump. today when jack met boris, boris epstein, that is, one of the central figures in today s trump world is sitting down with prosecutors from special counsel jack smith s office. it is a development that is sure to inspire questions about where either one of those two criminal probes investigating the disgraced ex-president s conduct is heading the new york times reports this, quote, given his expansive ties to trump, mr. epstein is in a position to provide information in both of the investigations that mr. smith is overseeing one focused on trump s efforts to retain power after losing the 2020 election, the other centered on his handling of classified documents after he left the white house until recently, mr. epstein played a critical ro
fake electors, putting pressure on the secretary of state and state legislators, it was orchestrated in washington. so nicolle, this is a washington case, even though it ultimately will be charged in georgia. so tim, that brings me i mean, mark meadows travels to georgia. not clear why, but we know he had his hands all over it. lindsey graham is on the phone, he doesn t represent anyone in georgia. you ve got eastman in the state, twisting arms in legislature. you have rudy on the phone, telling them what to do. and you have trump telling the secretary of state to see if he can find him 11,780 votes. how are these people not under more these publicly, under more criminal scrutiny by doj? i think they are under scrutiny by doj. i think willis is a step ahead, she s looking at the same facts

do think he has a lot of information. i mean, do you think he s willing to go to jail for donald trump? no, i really don t. so what does that mean? if eastman and clark are targets in an investigation, you think boris makes a hard choice to cooperate with the law, or do you think he i don t know what his approach is, but a lot of people and this is what s so wild have been willing to go to jail. weisselberg just got out of rikers drank the whole jug of kool-aid and think he will be president again. they think in the wider span of their life this is a tradeoff they can somehow make sense of, i guess, because mr. weisselberg gave damaging information to some degree about the trump organization but never about mr. trump himself. he could have gotten a lighter sentence or never set foot in rikers mr. navarro is on this very don
