Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is expected to appear in court Tuesday for the hearing before Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney, has remained tight-lipped on potential actions her office will take.

State and federal officials interviewed for the investigation include Raffensperger, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and South CarolinaAttorneys for Trump said in an emailed statement that they"will not be present nor participating in Tuesday's hearing.

Willis graduated from Howard University in Washington, D.C., in 1992 and Emory University School of Law in 1996. She started working in the Fulton County District Attorney's Office in 2001 and climbed the ranks over nearly two decades, serving in nearly every division of the office. She was lead prosecutor in over 100 jury trials and prosecuted hundreds of murder and other high-profile cases.

"She had this corner office where people outside lined up, waiting for their turn. There were other great attorneys there but she was probably chief among equals in that department," Bailey said. Willis left the Fulton County District Attorney's Office in 2018 and opened her own practice focused on criminal defense and family law. Two years later she ran for district attorney, challenging her longtime boss and mentor, six-term incumbent Paul Howard, who was embroiled in multiple scandals.

On Feb. 10, 2021, Willis sent letters to Raffensperger and other state officials informing them of her office's probe into potential solicitation of election fraud, false statements, conspiracy and racketeering.
