Fulton County says cyberattack did not impact Trump election interference case

Officials said the court and other systems in Georgia's most populous county were hacked over the weekend, interrupting routine operations, but the district attorney's office said the racketeering case against former President Donald Trump was unaffected.

Fulton County, which includes most of Atlanta, was experiencing a "widespread system outage" from a "cybersecurity incident," county commission Chair Robb Pitts said Monday in a video posted on social media. Notably, he said, the outage is affecting the county's phone, court and tax systems.

But the office of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said the racketeering case against Trump and others was not affected.
