Book reveals Fani Willis used body double to escape courthouse after releasing Trump indictments

Today on The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s “Politically Georgia," Greg Bluestein, Bill Nigut, and Greg Bluestein talk to journalists Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman join the podcast to discuss their new book, “Find me the Votes: A Hard-Charging Prosecutor, a Rogue President and the Plot to Steal an Election.” The authors take an in-depth look at how Georgia became the focus of Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election, and how Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ investigation led to indictments against Trump and 18 co-defendants involving their attempts to undermine the legitimate election results. 

 

Then, WABE reporter Sam Gringlas shares his story about how the threats and demonization by Trump allies against Fulton County election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman have inspired a surge of people to line up to work at polling places across Fulton County. 

  

Plus, the hosts pay tribute to the three Georgia Army reservists killed in a drone attack in Jordan, and they add words of sympathy following the death of state House Rules Chairman Richard Smith of Columbus.
