Willis is expected to seek a grand jury indictment in the coming weeks, with the investigation focused on efforts to overturn the former president’s 2020 election loss.
A rare brain-eating amoeba, Naegleria fowleri, has been linked to the death of a Georgia resident, according to the Georgia Department of Public Health. The amoeba is found in warm, freshwater lakes, rivers, ponds, and hot springs, and can cause a rare infection that destroys brain tissue. The health department is urging people to take precautions when swimming in these bodies of water, such as avoiding high temperatures, low water levels, and a lack of water flow, and using nose clips.
Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor and outside lawyer for former President Donald Trump, has admitted to making false statements about two Georgia election workers in a court filing. This could potentially allow Giuliani to avoid handing over a batch of records related to his communications during the 2020 election, and potentially help him avoid "severe discovery sanctions" from the judge in the case. The judge has yet to rule on the matter, and Giuliani has not commented on the filing.

The pair are suing Giuliani for defamation over baseless claims of fraud he made against them, and are seeking damages for the harm caused by the false statements, as well as punitive damages. Giuliani has argued that the concessions do not prevent him from asserting constitutional speech protections.
