For nearly two years, Atlanta-based prosecutors have conducted a criminal investigation into interference in the 2020 presidential election. Parts of the Fulton County, Georgia, special grand jury report will be released Thursday morning.
For nearly two years, Atlanta-based prosecutors have conducted a criminal investigation into interference in the 2020 presidential election, which saw Trump lose to President Joe Biden. Much of the inquiry was conducted before a special grand jury, which under Georgia law, had to present a final report on its findings, and this case included charging recommendations.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis initially requested for the special purpose grand jury to cover Trump's call on Jan. 2, 2021, to state Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which he asked him to"find" enough votes for Trump to win the state. While some legal analysts have suggested prosecutors could pursue perjury charges as leverage to widen the investigation, some experts contend that charges for lying to investigators or perjury are rare due to the difficult nature of proving they relate to the main case at hand.
She previously asked the judge to keep the report sealed in order to protect a potential criminal investigation and shield the rights of possible"defendants" in the case. It's possible that no charges will arise from the investigation.
