Former President Donald Trump could be forced to testify before the special grand jury investigating whether he sought to overturn his 2020 election defeat in Georgia, as Fulton County District Attorney, Fani Willis, says the investigation could lead to multiple prison sentences.

In a recent report by the Washington Post, Willis said she and her team have heard allegations about serious crimes that were committed in the state during the 2020 election.

"The allegations are very serious. If indicted and convicted, people are facing prison sentences," Willis told the Washington Post.

While she did not identify anyone or any charges that could be filed, Willis has strongly hinted that she could decide about the direction of the probe as soon as this fall, according to a report by Fox 5 Atlanta.

Willis launched her probe early last year after a phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, was made public, according to Fox 5. During the call, the former president allegedly suggested the state’s top elections official could "find" the number of votes needed to flip the election in Georgia in Trump’s favor.

According to Fox 5, Trump also called Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) and asked him to order a special legislative session to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory.
