BREAKING: A Georgia grand jury said it believes one or more witnesses committed perjury in its 2020 election probe.
on efforts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The report found that there was not"widespread fraud" that could have overturned the presidential election.
However, the report also said that a"majority of the Grand Jury believes that perjury may have been committed by one or more witnesses testifying before it" and recommended that the district attorney seek"appropriate indictments" for crimes where the"evidence is compelling." The jurors"received evidence from or involving 75 witnesses," the report said, the"overwhelming majority of which information was delivered in person under oath.
The office of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was ordered Monday by a judge to release three sections of the lengthy report — the introduction, conclusion and the section in which the grand jury expressed its concern that"some witnesses may have lied under oath during their testimony." Media organizations including CBS News had argued that the full report should be made public immediately, but Fulton County Judge Robert McBurney largely rejected their effort.
