Trump’s Georgia election trial could stretch into 2025, says prosecutor

In interview, Fani Willis said trial against the ex-president and 19 defendants would probably extend past election day

The trial in the Georgia racketeering case against Donald Trump and 14 other defendants relating to an alleged conspiracy to subvert the 2020 election could stretch into early 2025, the Fulton county prosecutor, Fani Willis, has said.

In an interview at a global women's summit held on Tuesday by the Washington Post, Willis said that though she expected the case to be on appeal for years", the trial itself would probably take many months". She envisioned it ending in the winter or the very early part of 2025".
