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
4:00 in new york. today, monumental breakthrough in the sometimes frustrating pursuit and pace of accountability and justice. the aftermath of the deadly attack on the u.s. capitol. in the 785 days since the insurrection he incited, donald trump has managed to squirm his way through an impeachment, wiggle past the bipartisan congressional investigation, stretching presidential immunity to great effect so far. now the justice department says in a brand-new court filing, such immunity should not shield donald trump from multiple civil suits brought by police officers and members of congress. in that new filing, in the course of urging an appeals court to reject trump s immunity claim, the justice department was very careful to avoid taking a position on whether trump is actually liable for causing the riot. the new action does open new doors of potential accountability for him. doj s essentially telling the court it does not believe trump can use immunity to avoid civil litigat
