Fani Willis was the only one to seriously go after Trump over Jan 6 — and she blew it
- Georgia's Trump election case collapsed after a motion led to charges being dismissed and Willis removed from the case.
- The case was the last major effort to criminally hold Trump accountable for Jan. 6 and the 2020 election fallout in Georgia.
- Prosecutorial misconduct and strategic timing undermined Willis’s broader case against Trump and co-defendants.
- Four of Trump’s co-defendants accepted pleas and agreed to testify against others, shaping the litigation.
- Legal experts described Willis’s actions as undermining the case due to personal entanglements with Wade.
- Trump publicly maintained his innocence and termed the election ‘rigged’ and a ‘fraud.’
- The Justice Department faced scrutiny over its timing in pursuing charges against Trump, delaying actions until 2022.
- Former Trump allies faced late-stage convictions, while most prosecutions were viewed as delayed or dismissed.
- Willis’s removal from the case followed the 2024 election cycle and related developments.
- Experts argued that federal efforts, not state prosecutions, often carried the heavier weight in Trump-related charges.
- The case’s outcomes left supporters and opponents debating accountability for the 2020 election aftermath.
