Prosecutors in Georgia are moving closer to opening a criminal investigation into President Donald Trump, according to The New York Times.
Fulton County's new district attorney, Fani Willis, is seriously considering whether to launch an official inquiry into Trump's attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 Election, the paper reported.
Willis has also deliberated over whether to hire a special assistant to oversee the inquiry, sources told the Times.
The calls for Trump to be investigated have come from watchdog groups and Democratic lawmakers.
Earlier this month, the sole Democrat on Georgia's state election board, David Worley, called on Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to look into Trump's controversial hour-long phone call, according to The Washington Post.
Worley referred to a Georgia state code that makes it illegal to solicit someone into committing election fraud, the paper reported. Violating § 21-2-604 is punishable by up to three years in jail.
In Trump's call, obtained by the Post, the president urged Raffensperger to 'find' 11,780 votes to secure a win over President-elect Joe Biden. This request was rebuffed.
Since Worley's request, Raffensperger has noted a potential conflict of interest in him investigating the conversation. He told ABC News that Fulton County would be a more "appropriate venue" to conduct a criminal investigation.
Worley has since warned that if Fulton County's district attorney doesn't announce an inquiry into the phone call by the date of the state election board's next meeting, then he would make a motion to refer it to her office, according to The New York Times.
The next meeting is scheduled to take place on February 10, 2021.

Try it.
So I see that after 2 months of lots of talking all that is going to happen here is depressing story after depressing story will be posted with NONE of the Fake Bravado that was shown the two months prior to the 6th.
That’s conservatives for ya.
Ciao
Deep state just trying to get around a potential federal pardon for Trump - because Kemp has it out for the President.
Please go ahead and let the Trump side ask for discovery and watch this quietly get settled
LOL!!! This would not surprise me one bit, and to see members of Trump’s staff sent to jail. We live in bizarro world now.
Kemp may as well resign and take a job in Bidet’s cabinet.
He’s toast.
Kemp is losing to Doug Collins next year he’s on borrowed time
They only threatened, burned and assaulted little people. The high and mighty sat back in their ivory tower and snickered at how the peasants were revolting. They didn’t tinkle in their pants.
They are poking a lion that has had ENOUGH.
They criminalize Trump and Trump supporters for something clearly instigated by Antifa/BLM, they are asking for a war.
Period.
Yes, he is toast.
Sadly, in two years I’ll be saying Governor Abrams.
The only thing that would prevent that would be Biden appointing her as Surgeon General for the morbidly obese.
Is English your first language?
Fulton County's justice system is something you'd find under Robert Mugabe or Papa Doc Duvalier. Remember the Belgian Congo? Well Fulton County has become the American Congo. These are dark days in Georgia. Very dark indeed.
Discovery should be SWEET!
Trump made a huge blunder when he threw Kemp under the bus for being the first major state to reopen. I think Kemp had an agreement with Trump, and then Trump left him twisting in the wind, isolated politically in restarting the Georgia economy.
Kemp is paying him back unfortunately.
Do it do it do it.
The filing of charges opens up the discovery process. All of the ballots and envelope signatures and voting machine source code and logs would have to be provided, as well as Ruby Freeman’s phone records.
Do it.
Dominion Systems says otherwise ...
All of the evidence is being "disappeared" as I type, and will be completely gone before any charges are filed ...
Georgia...
Ground zero for future self-inflicted unemployed Republicans...
