Few local prosecutors have drawn as much national attention as Fani Willis. As Fulton County’s district attorney, she has led investigations and prosecutions that touch on elections, powerful figures, and questions about how the law works in practice. If you want clear, timely updates on filings, hearings and key court dates, this tag groups everything we publish about her and her office.
Here we collect reporting, courtroom developments, and plain-language explanations of complex legal moves. Expect: breaking news about indictments and motions, summaries of important hearings, timelines of major cases, and analysis of how decisions could affect Georgia politics. We also track related ethics probes and recusal battles that shape whether a case moves forward.
You won’t get legal jargon without context. When a court filing appears, we explain what it says, what it means for the next step, and why it matters for voters, officials and anyone following the rule of law in Georgia. We link to primary sources like dockets and filings so you can read the originals if you want.
We focus on accuracy and clarity. That means checking court records, quoting filings and court transcripts, and confirming statements from spokespeople. Watch for key milestones: arraignments, discovery exchanges, pretrial motions, trial schedules and appeal notices. Each milestone changes the shape of a case and can signal whether charges will hold up under scrutiny.
Not every headline signals a new charge. Sometimes a high-profile development is a procedural move — a motion to dismiss, a request to move venue, or an ethics complaint. Those matters can affect timing and strategy, so we explain how they play into the bigger picture.

The Fulton County DA's office has urged the Georgia Court of Appeals to dismiss an appeal meant to disqualify DA Fani Willis from the Trump election interference case. Defendants argue for her removal due to a romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor who had financial ties with Willis. A decision on the motion is currently pending.
