Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis recently told CNN that former President Donald Trump will not be given a “special break” from prison if convicted of racketeering in Georgia via Mediaite.
Trump along with more than a dozen co-defendants faces charges of conspiring to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. He was indicted earlier this year and had his mugshot taken in Fulton County Jail.
During an interview with CNN’s Nick Valencia on Thursday, the district attorney was asked if the Republican frontrunner would go to prison if convicted of his charges. Willis responded that she would recommend an appropriate sentence to the court and that “no one gets a special break.”
WILLIS: I know that in the media, and even in the world, we like instant gratification. The judicial process is a long process, and so we’ll be here with that case for a while.
VALENCIA: When I get asked that I’m covering the story, many people say, you know, the former president is already gone to jail. Will he see prison time? What do you think about that?
WILLIS: I think that everyone in society is the same, and I don’t know why that’s such a difficult concept for people. You can look at the charges, and based on those charges, we’ll be recommending appropriate sentences. No one gets a special break because of their status.
The former president faces four different criminal indictments in four separate jurisdictions. If convicted in the Georgia case for racketeering, he will likely spend the rest of his life in prison.
