Atlanta hip-hop legend T.I. reportedly offered to endorse Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis if she rejected specific connections during her campaign.
The details of the interaction are included in a book by seasoned investigative journalists Daniel Klaidman and Michael Isikoff called “Find Me The Votes,” the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported . It delves into Donald Trump’s alleged efforts to meddle in the 2020 presidential election and Wllis’ unprecedented indictment against him.
According to the report, T.I. was angered that Willis was being backed by a police union and a conservative city council member, Mary Norwood. The rapper, born Clifford Harris, said he and other artists would support her if she renounced their endorsements.
“No,” Willis reportedly said. “I represent all segments of my community.”
The book gives readers an inside look at Willis’ efforts to indict Trump and several of his allies to overturn the election results in Georgia. The reports said they spent “many hours” with the district attorney over the last two years, and the book comprises details from about six interviews with Willis.
