Former President Donald Trump slammed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for focusing on alleged 2020 election interference instead of "the record number of murders in Atlanta!"

Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday, ahead of a week in which Willis is expected to seek about a dozen indictments related to her case against Trump and his allies regarding alleged attempts to overturn the state's 2020 election results.

Willis' investigation began soon after Trump made a phone call to the state's top election official, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and urged him to "find" enough votes to alter the outcome.

"Why is 'Phoney' (Like in PERFECT 'PHONE' CALL, get it?) Fani Willis, the severely underperforming D.A. of Fulton County who is being accused of having an 'affair' with a Gang Member of a group that she is prosecuting, leaking my name in regard to a Grand Jury pertaining to Election Fraud & Irregularities that I say took place in Georgia," Trump posted Sunday morning.

"I made a PERFECT PHONE CALL OF PROTEST. What does Phoney Fani have to do with me? She should instead focus on the record number of murders in Atlanta!"

Trump continued about 20 minutes later.

"The only Election Interference that took place in Fulton County, Georgia, was done by those that Rigged and Stole the Election, not by me, who simply complained that the Election was Rigged and Stolen," Trump posted.

"We have Massive and Conclusive Proof, if the Grand Jury would like to see it. Unfortunately, the publicity seeking D.A. isn't interested in Justice, or this evidence. Also, as in Manhattan, the corrupt DOJ is pushing hard trying to keep Biden in Office. The whole system is dishonest and broken!"

CNN reported Sunday that Willis' evidence includes text messages and emails directly connecting members of Trump's legal team to an early January 2021 voting system breach in Coffee County.

Legal experts and lawyers in Georgia who know Willis' work expect the DA to levy state racketeering charges against Trump, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.
