Emily Kohrs, a 30-year-old Fulton County resident, recently found herself at the center of one of the nation’s most significant legal proceedings. Kohrs was selected to be the foreperson of the special grand jury investigating whether then-President Donald Trump and his Republican associates illegally meddled in Georgia’s 2020 election.
In an interview that will air Tuesday on NBC News’ “Nightly News,” Kohrs declined to name any specific names as per the instructions of the judge who presided over the grand jury. However, she did mention that the list of recommended indictments is “not a short list” and “might” include the former president.
Kohrs described the moment she realized the grand jury was a “big freaking deal.” She and the other jurors were led down a staircase into a garage beneath a downtown Atlanta courthouse, where officers with big guns were waiting. From there, they were ushered into vans with heavily tinted windows and driven to their cars under police escort.
Kohrs said that while there are definitely some names that people would expect to be on the list, there are also some that people might not recognize. “I don’t think there’s any giant ‘That’s not the way I expected this to go at all’ moments,” she said.
The grand jury’s investigation is ongoing, and the results of the investigation have yet to be released. However, Kohrs’ experience provides a unique insight into the significance of the proceedings.
