Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis says she was paying attention last month when Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted former President Trump in a case related to hush money payments around the 2016 campaign.

“Well, certainly the citizens that elected the D.A. in Fulton have a district attorney that pays attention, so let’s just say I paid attention,” she said in an interview with WABE on Tuesday.

Willis plans to announce charging decisions this summer following her investigation into efforts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election.
