Breaking news has just come in that former Trump lawyer Lin Wood has emerged as a key witness for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Wood was previously known as a staunch defender of former President Donald Trump, which makes this headline particularly shocking.
Willis’ investigation into the ex-President’s post-election maneuvers in Georgia has gained momentum due to this development. This state was narrowly lost by Trump to President Joe Biden during the 2020 election.

As per Rolling Stone’s detailed report, Lin Woods’ transformation from ardent legal ally of Donald Trump to potential witness against him could have an immense impact on the trajectory of the ongoing RICO case that delves deep into allegations about attempts made by Trump to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
In comments made to Rolling Stone, Wood said he had been told he would be subpoenaed as a witness but failed to provide further information on the matter.
A court document filed by Willis explicitly names Wood which makes it obvious that he is now playing an important role as witness for the prosecution in this case.
Lin Woods played an integral part during post-election legal battles and his decision to cooperate with Willis’ investigation comes across as unexpected yet interesting.
The current case focuses primarily on a phone call between Donald Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger where it is alleged that ex-president wanted Raffensperger to “find” enough votes so as to reverse the state’s election results in his favor along with other actions which form the basis of all accusations against him and his associates.
Having him onboard provides prosecutors with unique insight since he was very close to inner workings of post-election challenges fought by Donald Trump’s team.
This can prove detrimental for both the president himself and all those involved because if someone like Lin Wood can become a witness against them then their defense might not hold up well enough.
It also raises questions regarding loyalty among people allied with former president.
