Judge McBurney to Hear Arguments Over Release of Grand Jury Report on Trump’s Election Subversion Efforts

A Georgia state judge is set to hear arguments on Tuesday over the release of a report drafted by a grand jury into former President Donald Trump’s efforts to subvert the 2020 election result in the state.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has expressed her opposition to releasing the report to the public, which was created by a special purpose grand jury that spent months investigating Trump’s behavior after the election.

The grand jury, which was made up of 23 Georgians and three alternates, was dissolved two weeks ago after submitting its report to Willis and Judge Robert McBurney. During their investigation, the panel issued subpoenas and interviewed 75 witnesses, including a series of high-profile Republican witnesses and some alleged participants in Trump’s efforts.

The result of the grand jury’s investigation is a lengthy report that remains under seal and out of public view. Judge McBurney will now decide whether to release the report to the public, though it is unclear when a decision will be made.

The grand jury’s investigation into Trump’s election subversion effort has been ongoing for one year, and Tuesday’s hearing marks the first step in determining whether the report will be made available to the public.
