Donald Trump is running a campaign ad attacking Fani Willis, the district attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, just days before she is expected to become the latest prosecutor to indict him.
The commercial, which is airing in Atlanta and other cities, takes shots at Ms Willis, who has been investigating the former president’s alleged attempts to overturn Joe Biden’s win in the swing state in 2020.
Ms Willis is believed to be ready to present charges in her investigation to a grand jury as soon as next week.
Meanwhile, it has emerged that Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith, who has himself twice indicted Mr Trump already this year, obtained a search warrant for the ex-commander-in-chief’s Twitter account.
The platform was prohibited from telling Mr Trump about the warrant and was fined $350,000 for failing to meet a deadline to produce records under a court order.
A previously unseen legal memo has also surfaced sent by Kenneth Chesebro, a lawyer for the Trump 2020 campaign, which lays out the ex-president’s efforts to interfere with certification of that year’s Electoral College results in order to “buy time” and delay the joint session making Mr Trump’s defeat official.
