It’s certainly safe to say at this point that ex-President Donald Trump is absolutely drowning in a level of scandal and legal peril he’s never before experienced in his life. Frankly, if nothing else moves forward from this point on, the man will still go down in the worst form of American history as the first, and thus far the only, sitting or current United States president to ever be formally indicted on criminal charges — much less on a staggering 34 felonies.
Honestly, the Manhattan charges alone are enough criminal trouble to last anyone a lifetime or two. However, Alvin Bragg is far from the only thing Donald Trump has to worry about.
Now that the Manhattan investigation has reached its crescendo — and we’ve seen Donald Trump formally indicted and arraigned on the criminal charges — the nation is just waiting for the next proverbial shoe to drop.
New York Times says that proverbial shoe is coming in the form of Georgia’s Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

According to the bombshell analysis from the Times, DA Willis appears to be bringing a massive case against not only the already scandal-ridden former president, but a wide assortment of Donald’s aides and supporters as well, that will serve to be far more wide-reaching, complex, and legally detrimental than the infamous hush money case ever thought about being.
The newspaper notes that Trump is facing a “blizzard of legal challenges,” before pointing to Fani Willis’ monumental election investigation as a likely catalyst to what could be Trump’s ultimate failure to successfully launch his 3rd White House run.
“While nothing is certain, there are numerous signs that she may go big, with a more kaleidoscopic indictment charging not only Mr. Trump, but perhaps a dozen or more of his allies,” the Times reports. “Nearly 20 people are already known to have been told that they are targets who could face charges, including Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Trump’s former personal lawyer, and David Shafer, the head of the Georgia Republican Party.”
The wide scope of the investigation has been evident for months, and Ms. Willis has said that seeking an indictment under the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations, or RICO, statute is an option that she is considering,” the Times report added that Willis “may do so after a new grand jury begins its work in the second week of May, though nothing is set in stone. Typically, presenting such cases to a regular grand jury is a short process that takes a day or two,” the publication reports.
Willis has personally addressed the notion of utilizing RICO to go after the former president and his allies, previously stating, “RICO is a tool that allows a prosecutor’s office or law enforcement to tell the whole story. And so we use it as a tool so that they can have all the information they need to make a wise decision.”
