(Reuters) - The district attorney investigating whether former U.S. President Donald Trump illegally interfered with Georgia’s 2020 election has hired an outside lawyer who is a national authority on racketeering, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has enlisted the help of Atlanta lawyer John Floyd, who wrote a national guide on prosecuting state racketeering cases. Floyd was hired recently to “provide help as needed” on matters involving racketeering, including the Trump investigation and other cases, said the source, who has direct knowledge of the situation.
The move bolsters the team investigating Trump as Willis prepares to issue subpoenas for evidence on whether the former president and his allies broke the law in their campaign to pressure state officials to reverse his Georgia election loss. Willis has said that her office would examine potential charges including “solicitation of election fraud, the making of false statements to state and local governmental bodies, conspiracy, racketeering” among other possible violations.

As Georgia’s Republican-controlled state Senate passes a bill that would dramatically roll back voting rights, citizen Trump is facing a criminal investigation in the state for election interference. MSNBC’s Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber is joined by former acting U.S. Solicitor General Neal Katyal to discuss the prosecutor’s decision to tap one of the country’s top racketeering attorneys for the case and what this means for Trump now that he’s out of office.
