- If the grand jury decides to indict Trump, it could lead to further criminal charges and even a potential jail sentence.
Former President Donald Trump and his allies are facing a criminal investigation in Georgia after the state’s prosecutors indicated they will present their case to a grand jury early next week. Two witnesses, former Georgia Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan and independent journalist George Chidi, have been asked to appear before the grand jury in Fulton County on Tuesday morning.
The investigation is looking into alleged efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia. Duncan and Chidi have both confirmed that they have been asked to testify before the grand jury. Duncan said in a tweet that he will be there to “recount the facts”.
If the grand jury decides to indict Trump, it would be his fourth criminal indictment this year. Trump has already been charged with obstruction of justice in the Mueller investigation, as well as campaign finance violations and tax fraud.
The investigation is part of a larger effort to hold Trump accountable for his actions during the 2020 election. Georgia prosecutors have already charged two of Trump’s associates with election interference and are now looking into Trump’s own involvement.
The grand jury’s decision could have major implications for Trump and his allies. If Trump is indicted, it could lead to further criminal charges and even a potential jail sentence. It remains to be seen how the grand jury will rule, but the decision could have far-reaching consequences for the former president.
