Fani Willis petitions to reinstate six counts in Trump's Georgia election subversion case
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has asked the Georgia Court of Appeals to reinstate six charges in the state’s election subversion case against Donald Trump.
Earlier this year, the judge in the case ruled that six counts, including three specifically against Trump, weren’t detailed enough about the alleged crimes. The counts in question have to do with alleged efforts to appoint fake electors in Georgia, after Trump lost the state in the 2020 election.
In a new filing submitted Tuesday, Willis asked to have that ruling reversed.
“The indictment more than sufficiently placed Cross-Appellees on notice of the conduct at issue and allowed them to prepare an intelligent defense to the charges,” the new filing read.
Lawyers for Trump say the judge’s initial decision to disqualify the counts was unambiguous.
“The brief filed by DA Fani Willis is simply incorrect on the law,” Trump attorney Steve Sadow said in a statement obtained by Scripps News. “The trial court’s dismissal order properly decided that the State failed to sufficiently plead the allegations in the dismissed counts under Georgia law.”

The filing comes as Georgia begins early voting for the 2024 presidential election. According to data provided by the Georgia Secretary of State’s office, more than 310,000 voters voted in person in Georgia on Tuesday.
This round of voting is seeing its own unique legal developments: a judge ruled on Tuesday that election officials are required to certify the state’s votes by 5p.m. on the Tuesday following the election. He also blocked a rule passed earlier this year that required counties to hand-count all ballots, saying such a change would be “too much, too late” ahead of the 2024 election.

Sources: Georgia State landing new defensive coordinator from ACC champs
Dell McGee’s defensive staff overhaul as he enters Year 3 atop the Georgia State program is getting its most significant piece of the puzzle, FootballScoop has learned.
McGee is hiring Cam Clark, a senior analyst on Duke coach Manny Diaz’s 2025 Atlantic Coast Conference Champions staff, to run the Georgia State defense, sources tell FootballScoop.
It’s a notable hire for McGee, who is seeking to turn around Georgia State after going just 4-20 in his first two seasons at the helm.
While Clark arrives at Georgia State after assisting the Duke Blue Devils offense, his background is in defensive coaching.
He served two years as defensive coordinator at Football Championship Subdivision program Western Illinois, and he also ran the defense at Lamar University. Additionally, Clark was defensive coordinator at Georgia prep powerhouse Thomas County Central High School.
A former star player at Harding University, Clark obtained his master’s degree from Auburn University, where he served as a graduate assistant.
He has additional Football Bowls Subdivision experience from coaching under both Hugh Freeze and Gus Malzahn while serving on their respective staffs at Arkansas State.
