Donald Trump in Fulton County, Georgia, as CNN also learns about his possible plan to

turn himself in in the coming days.

up to be a battle over who gets Donald Trump to appear in court and when.

This afternoon, Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis in Atlanta, Georgia asked

I want to bring in CNN's Sarah Murray, who just returned from Fulton County, CNN's

Evan Pettis and former federal prosecutor, Ellie Hone, etc.

Walk us through this proposed schedule from Georgia.

Well, it's a pretty tight timeline that she's proposing and again, this is her proposal.
