The official mugshot of former President Donald Trump has been released this week, following criticism from the Trump campaign over his indictment related to allegations that he attempted to invalidate the state’s 2020 election results.
The statement, though not attributed to a specific spokesperson, accused Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis of being a “rabid partisan” who is “campaigning and raising money on a platform of prosecuting President Trump through these bogus indictments”.
“Ripping a page from Crooked Joe Biden’s playbook, Willis has strategically stalled her investigation to try and maximally interfere with the 2024 presidential race and damage the dominant Trump campaign. All of these corrupt Democrat attempts will fail,” the campaign said in a statement.

Trump and his allies have accused Willis and others of engaging in “election interference” aimed at hurting his 2024 presidential campaign.
“These activities by Democrat leaders constitute a grave threat to American democracy and are direct attempts to deprive the American people of their rightful choice to cast their vote for President,” the campaign statement said. “Call it election interference or election manipulation—it is a dangerous effort by the ruling class to suppress the choice of the people. It is un-American and wrong.”
Last week, former federal prosecutor Jennifer Rodgers cautioned that the District Attorney’s goal of bringing the case against the former president and 18 other individuals to trial within six months is likely unattainable.
“Back in 2022 just last year, she brought a case against a rapper and several others. What does that tell you about the timing of this case and how quickly or slowly it might be able to come to trial?” CNN anchor Sara Sidner said to the former prosecutor.
“Fani Willis has a lot of experience with RICO throughout her prosecutorial career, so she knows what she’s doing in this regard. But going back to the Young Thug case, it’s still in jury selection. I mean months and months just in jury selection,” she said.
“Picking a jury for the former president and these other high-ranking former officials and lawyers and so on is going to be even more complicated than picking a jury for the Young Thung RICO case so to me that just underscores again that six months is an unrealistic goal to try this thing,” she said.
Reports on Saturday indicated that former President Donald Trump’s legal team may seek to move his case out of the hands of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. According to The Epoch Times, this is a real possibility due to one defendant in the case already making such a request.
“Ms. Willis’ case may face at least one legal hurdle in the form of a federal law that allows individuals who were federal officeholders at the time of an alleged criminal act to have the case go before a federal court,” the report said.
“Mark Meadows, who was also charged in the Georgia case and who was the White House chief of staff at the time, has already filed to have his case moved to federal court, and numerous legal experts have suggested President Trump might do the same,” the report continued.
“Moving the case from the Fulton County Superior Court to the local federal court could alter the dynamics of the trial and prove advantageous to President Trump in the long run,” the report added.
As the former president considers a return to the White House in 2024, speculation has been raised about the possibility of him granting himself a pardon for any federal offenses. While this may be within his power, it is important to note that such authority does not extend to state-level crimes.
Alina Habba, an attorney for President Trump, even commented that Willis sought to prosecute her client “so that if [Trump] is president, he can’t pardon himself if he’s convicted.”
This could complicate matters further should circumstances lead to the case being transferred from state court into federal jurisdiction as legal scholar Paul Kamenar has suggested—which would require two separate trials in different courts.
