Grand Jury Seated in Georgia to Consider Criminal Charges Against Trump Over 2020 Election

  • A grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia will consider whether to bring criminal charges against former President Trump and his allies over efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state.
  • The investigation, led by District Attorney Fani Willis, focuses on Trump's call with Georgia's secretary of state asking him to "find" votes, fake electors, and other election-related activities.
  • Two regular grand juries with 23 members each have been seated and are expected to hear Willis's case, with potential indictments possible in August.
  • Indictment requires at least 12 of the 16 grand jurors to vote in favor of charges, which could include racketeering, conspiracy, solicitation of election fraud, and making false statements.
  • An indictment would not prevent Trump from running for president in 2024, but he already faces criminal charges in two other cases and a federal investigation related to the 2020 election.
