Fulton’s DA opens a criminal investigation into Trump's demand that Georgia's top elections official "find" enough votes to overturn election #gapol ajc.com/politics/fulto…
“This letter is notice that the Fulton County District Attorney has opened an investigation into attempts to influence the administration of the 2020 Georgia General Election,” read the letter, dated Wednesday, from Willis’ office. #gapol ajc.com/politics/fulto…
Here’s a copy of the letter sent to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Other copies were sent to Gov. Kemp, Lt. Gov. Duncan and AG Chris Carr #gapol ImageImage
Calling it a “matter of high priority,” Willis said the next Fulton County grand jury is set to convene in March and that “this office will begin requesting grand jury subpoenas as necessary at that time.” #gapol ajc.com/politics/fulto…
More details, including why Lt. Gov @GeoffDuncanGA was sent one of the letters. #gapol ajc.com/politics/fulto…

Georgia Republicans are preparing for a potential rematch between @GovKemp and @StaceyAbrams with the launch today of a “Stop Stacey” group aimed at thwarting her likely 2022 bid. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
The group was formed by allies of Kemp and former U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler even before she’s announced whether she’ll run again, a sign of deep concern among Republicans about the threat she poses to the first-term governor next year. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
.@staceyabrams' top aide responds: "Rather than a desperate distraction, perhaps they can #StartServingGeorgians." #gapol

Georgia lawmaker booted from chamber for failing to get COVID-19 test #gapol ajc.com/politics/georg…
State @RepDavidTClark tells me he’s considering legal action after he was booted from the Georgia House for failing to take a coronavirus test —
and that he plans to return tomorrow. #gapol
From House Speaker David Ralston’s spokesman:
“The member will be allowed to return upon complying with the policy for the safety of all those who have to come to the Capitol.
 
This is about preventing the spread of a disease that has killed more than 12,000 Georgians.” #gapol

“@Ossoff will be sworn in using a book of Hebrew scripture once owned by Rabbi Jacob Rothschild, who led Atlanta’s historic synagogue The Temple...”
The rabbi was a key MLK ally who encouraged ATL’s Jewish community to fight for civil rights and oppose hate & intolerance. #gasen
Rothschild’s synagogue was bombed in ‘58 by white supremacists angered by his opposition to segregation; it was a turning point in ATL. Civic leaders rallied behind him, and Jewish Atlantans who were wary of getting involved in politics woke up. the-temple.org/bombing
You can draw a line between Rothschild’s leadership during the civil rights era and @ossoff’s election this month as the first Jewish US senator in Georgia history — not just symbolically. Ossoff earned his bar mitzvah from The Temple about 20 years ago. #gapol #gasen

The Jolt: Georgia officials are expected to certify Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock’s runoff victories today, setting up a swearing-in as early as Wednesday. #gapol #gasen ajc.com/politics/polit…
More jolt: Rep. @NikemaWilliams has filed a bill that would bar Trump from stepping foot inside the U.S. Capitol ever again. “President Trump has shown time and time again that he is a danger to our democracy and a threat to the country.” #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
And don’t miss out on this item: Congrats @1PatriciaMurphy! #gapol

Georgia @GovKemp tries to set a new tone at the state Capitol after a divisive election, endorsing a revamp of the citizen's arrest law and calling for an end to ‘harmful’ misinformation. #gapol ajc.com/politics/kemp-…
Georgia Democrats don’t buy it. House Minority Leader James Beverly says the state’s refusal to expand Medicaid and more aggressively contain the virus has repercussions: “We cannot afford to stand by when Georgia rises in the ranks of these shameful metrics.” #gapol Image
“These measures do not prevent fraud. They prevent democracy.” Georgia Democratic state Sen. @elenaparent on @GovKemp’s call for new voter ID requirements for absentee ballots following GOP defeats in November and January. #gapol Image
