Imagine it’s Tuesday, November 5, 2024. Election Day. You and 150 million Americans, give or take, turn on the TV and watch Donald Trump’s live-jury election racketeering trial before heading off to the polls to vote for President.
That’s a distinct possibility given Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ remarks Tuesday revealing her assessment that the trial could extend into January of 2025 – meaning Donald Trump, if he becomes the GOP nominee and wins the 2024 election, could be sworn in as President and still be a defendant in his RICO election fraud case.
At The Washington Post’s Global Women’s Summit, Willis “said Tuesday she anticipated the trial to conclude by early 2025, with proceedings likely underway during the final stretch of the 2024 presidential election,” The Washington Post reports. Willis also “said the anticipated trial over alleged election interference by Trump and his allies could be ongoing on Election Day 2024 and possibly still underway on Inauguration Day.”

“I believe the trial will take many months. And I don’t expect that we will conclude until the winter or the very early part of 2025,” Willis said.
Willis also says she does not take elections into account when charging cases.
“I don’t, when making decisions about cases to bring, consider any election cycle or an election season,” Willis said. “That does not go into the calculus. What goes into the calculus is: This is the law. These are the facts. And the facts show you violated the law. Then charges are brought.”
Willis at the Summit she also said, “I think the case will be on appeals for years.”
