Judge to Decide Whether to Make Public Grand Jury Report on Alleged Election Fraud by Former President Donald Trump

A judge in the Atlanta area is set to hear arguments Tuesday on whether to publicly release a report from a special grand jury that investigated whether former President Donald Trump and his allies broke any laws in their attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.

The special grand jury was convened in August 2020 to investigate the allegations of election fraud and other criminal activity related to the 2020 election in Georgia. The grand jury was tasked with interviewing witnesses, including Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, and determining whether any criminal charges should be brought against the former president.

The grand jury has now completed its seven-month investigation and has written a final report, which is expected to include a summary of the panel’s investigative work, as well as any recommendations for indictments and the alleged conduct that led the panel to its conclusions. The grand jury, which was overseen by Judge McBurney, has recommended that the report be made public.

The judge presiding over the hearing will decide whether the report should be released to the public. If the report is released, it could provide insight into the grand jury’s findings and could potentially lead to criminal charges against the former president. It is unclear when the judge will make a decision on the matter.
